C My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were G7 thru
So I C started out drinkin' for pastime
Drivin' Nails In My G7 Coffin over C you.
CHORUS
I'm just Drivin' Nails In My Coffin
Ev'ry time I drink a bottle of G7 brew
I'm just C Drivin' Nails In My Coffin
Lordy, drivin' those G7 nails over C 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.
CHORUS
