Drivin' Nails in my Coffin Songtext

von Jerry Irby

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
I started out drinkin' for pasttime
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I think about the booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

Now ever since the day that we parted
I've been so sad and so blue
I can't be thinkin' about her
And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I think about the booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

Now if you turn me down, you don't want me
There is nothing more I can do
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin'
Worryin', my darlin', over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I think about the booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you
