DRIVING NAILS IN MY COFFIN
by Ernest Tubb

[words and music by Jerry Irby]


My [C] sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonesome
She said that she and I were [G] through
So [C] I started out drinkin' for pasttime
Drivin' nails in my [G] coffin over [C] you

I'm just [C] drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of [G] booze
I'm just [C] drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those [G] nails over you

{solo}

Every since the say that we parted
I've felt so sad and so blue
I'm always worryin' about you love
And I just can't quit drinkin' 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
Drivin' those nails over you
