[Verse 1]
My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
I started out a-drinking for a past time
Driving nails in my coffin over you
[Chorus]
I'm driving nails in my coffin
Even time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just driving nail in my coffin
Driving nails in my coffin over you
[Verse 2]
Now ever since the day that we parted
I've been so sad so blue
I can't help thinking about her
And I just can't quit drinking that old booze
Well you turned me down you don't want me
There's nothing more I can do
I'll be driving nails in my coffin
Worrying' my darling over you
[Chorus]
