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 just driving nails in my coffin,
Every time I drink a bottle of booze.
I'm just driving nails in my coffin,
Driving those nails over you.
Now ever since the day that we parted,
I've been so sad so blue.
I can't help thinkin' about her,
And I just can't quit drinkin' 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 darlin' over you.
