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 drinking for past time

Driving nails in my coffin over you

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Lordy driving those nails over you

Ow come in, Red

Oh let's hear it from you, Jimmy

Ever since the day that we parted

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinking of you, love

And I just can't quit drinking that old booze

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Lordy driving those nails over you

Ow Jim

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

There's nothing now I can lose

I'm just driving those nails in my coffin

And worrying, my darling, over you

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just driving nails in my coffin

Lordy driving those nails over you
