My sweetheart has gone and I'm so lonely

She said that she and I were through

So 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 brew

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

[ guitar ]

Now ever since the day that she left me

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinking of your love

And I just can't quit drinkin' that old brew

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin...

[ fiddle ]

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin...
