I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you

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...
[ guitar ]
Ever since the day that we've parted I've been so sad and so blue
I'm always thinking of your love and I just can't stop drinkin' that old booze

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