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

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

Lord I'm driving those nails over you

Now ever since the day that she left me

I've been so sad and so blue

I'm always thinking of your 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

Lord I'm 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

Lord I'm driving those nails over you
