The Bag O'Nails was a live music venue and meeting place for musicians in the 1960s, situated at 8 Kingly Street, Soho, London. Bands and other musicians such as Georgie Fame and Gass appeared there, often jamming with artists such as Jimi Hendrix. The venue hosted an early gig by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
After Beatles recording sessions in London their roadie Mal Evans, personal assistant Neil Aspinall and Paul McCartney would often look for a place where they could eat and The Bag O'Nails was one of their favourite venues. McCartney met his future wife Linda Eastman there on 15 May 1967. In his memoirs Evans wrote:" January 19 and 20: "I ended up drunk in The Bag O'Nails with Paul [McCartney] and Neil [Aspinall]".

Stop your crying I don't need you tears
I've been living for long long years
Sick and tired of live that's why I'm dead
Wooden suit you've made for me
Suits me good and I'm peacefully
Lying here, so don't be so upset.
You may bury me today
You may put me to the grave
But don't hammer in the nails
To my coffin.
Nails are a very useful thing
Nail them just to everything
To everything but not to coffin of mine
Build a house or built a boat
Nail your boots 'cause they are old
Simply use your nails the way that's right.
Only thing that left to say
If you'll somehow see my face
Right behind your window late at night
Do not scream and don't be scared
There will be no harm in that
