Ernest Tubb - Drivin' Nails in my Coffin

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of Ernest Dale Tubb performing "Drivin' Nails in my Coffin" on The Grand Ole Opry Show hosted by T. Tommy Cutrer in 1961.

"Drivin' Nails in my Coffin"
Lyrics
"My sweetheart has gone, I'm so lonely
She said that she and I were through
So I started out drinking for past time
Drivin' nails in my coffin over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Lord, I'm drivin' those nails over you

Now ever since the day that we've parted
I've been so sad and so blue
I'm always thinking of 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
Lord, I'm drivin' those nails over you

Now you've turned me down you don't want me
There's nothing now I can lose
I'm just drivin' those nails in my coffin
And worryin', my darlin', over you

I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Every time I drink a bottle of booze
I'm just drivin' nails in my coffin
Lord, I'm drivin' those nails over you"

Great country artist from Crisp, Texas that doesn't exist anymore. Just placard of his birth is all that remains.

True, true music.
