Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

Hank Thompson


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.
