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 Everytime I drink a bottle of brew I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Lord I'm drivin' those nails over you ( guitar ) 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 drinkin' that old brew I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin ( fiddle ) I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin LyricsKeeper
