My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
So I started out drinking for pastime
Driving nails in my coffin over you
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of brew
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Lawdy, driving those nails over you
Noe ever since the day that she left me
I've been so sad and so blue
I'm always thinking of you, love
And I just can't quit drinking that old brew
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of brew
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Lawdy, driving those nails over you
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of brew
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
Lawdy, driving those nails over you
