Drivin' Nails In My Coffin - Ernest Tubb & The Texas Troubadors

My sweetheart has gone 
And I'm so lonely 
She said that she and I were through
So I started out drinkin' for past time 
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you
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

[ guitar ]

Now ever since the day 
That we've 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 drivin' nails in my coffin...

[ steel ]

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...
