My sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
I started out drinking for past time

Drivin' nails in my coffin over you.

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you.


--- Instrumental ---


Ever since the day that we've parted
I've been so sad and so blue
I'm always thinking of your love

And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze.



I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Drivin' those nails over you.

--- Instrumental ---


Now you've turned me down you don't want me
There's nothing now I can lose

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
And worryin' my darlin' over you.


I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Drivin' those nails over you.

I keep drivin' those nails over you...
