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 pastime 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 Oh come in, Redd Oh let's hear from you, Jimmy Ever since the day that we've 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 Oh, Jim! Now you've turned me down, you don't want me There's nothing 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
