DRIVING NAILS IN MY COFFIN
DRIVING NAILS IN MY COFFIN
by Ernest Tubb
C
My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonesome
G7
She said that she and I were through
C
So I started out drinking for past time
G7C
Driving nails in my coffin over you
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
G7
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
C
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
G7C
Driving those nails over you
Every since the day that we parted
G7
I've felt so sad and so blue
C
I'm always worrying about you love
G7C
And I just can't quit drinking that old booze
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
G7
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
C
I'm just driving nails in my coffin
G7C
Driving those nails over you
