Irby My sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonely She said that she and I were through I started out drinkin' for pasttime Drivin' nails in my coffin over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I think about the booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove Drivin' nails in my coffin over you Now ever since the day that we parted I've been so sad and so blue I can't be thinkin' about her And I just can't quit drinkin' that old booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I think about the booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove Drivin' nails in my coffin over you Now if you turn me down, you don't want me There is nothing more I can do I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin' Worryin', my darlin', over you I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin Every time I think about the booze I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin, little dove Drivin' nails in my coffin over you
