Ernest Tubb - Drivin' Nails In My Coffin lyrics

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

Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, Lord

I'm drivin' those nails over you

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

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, Lord

I'm drivin' those nails over you

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 worrying, my darling over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin

Every time I drink a bottle of booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, Lord

I'm drivin' those nails over you
