My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were thru
So I started out drinkin' for pastime
Drivin' Nails In My Coffin over you.
I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of brew
I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin
Lordy, drivin' those nails over you.
Now ever since the day that she left me
I've been so sad and so blue
I'm always thinkin' of you, love
And I just can't quit drinkin' that old brew.
