Lyrics for Drivin' Nails In My Coffin

My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonesome She said I that she and I were through I started out drinking for pastime Driving nails in my coffin over you I'm just driving nails in my coffin Every time I drink a bottle of booze I'm driving nails in my coffin Lord is driving those nails over you, yeah I go Come on Floyd Pound that thing man Now ever since the day that we parted I've been so sad and so blue I'm just driving those nails in my coffin And worrying, my darling, over you And I'm just driving nails in my coffin Every time that I drink a bottle of booze I'm just driving nails in my coffin Lord is driving those nails over you Come on Johnny Gimble Well alright, well alright Now you've turned me down, you don't want me There's nothing now I can lose I'm just driving those nails in my coffin Worrying darling over you And I'm just driving nails in my coffin Every time that I drink a bottle of booze I'm just driving nails in my coffin Lord is driving those nails over you Come on little Lucky Yes swing high Yeah I'm just driving nails in my coffin Every time that I drink a bottle of booze I'm just driving nails in my coffin Lord is driving those nails over you Oh, I'm driving those nails over you
