Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

My sweetheart has gone, and I'm so lonely

She said that she and I were through

So, I started out drinkin' for past-time

Drivin' nails in my coffin, over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lordy, drivin' those nails, over you

Aw, come in, Dale

Aw, let's hear from you, gentlemen

Ever since the day that we parted

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinkin' of you, love

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

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lordy, drivin' those nails, over you

Aw, Jim

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

There's nothin' now I can lose

I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin

And worryin', my darlin', over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Lordy, drivin' those nails, over you
