Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin

Drivin' those nails over you

Well, my sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely

She said that she and I were through
So I started drinking for past time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you


Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you


Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin

Drivin' those nails over you

Now you've turned me down and you don't want me

There's nothing left now to lose
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
And I just can't quit drinking that old booze


Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze

Oh, I'm drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those nails over you
Just drivin' those nails over you
