My D sweetheart is gone and I'm so lonesome
She said that she and I were A through
So D I started out drinkin' for pasttime
Drivin' nails in my A coffin over D you
Chorus
I'm just D drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of A booze
I'm just D drivin' nails in my coffin
Drivin' those A nails over Dyou
Ever since the day 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
Chorus
