Oh, whoops... that's not a country song, sorry! LOL! Too tired to read....
I should go to bed...

Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss - Whiskey Lullaby
Concrete Angel by Martina McBride always makes me depressed too

But there are soo many sad songs.

An oldie I heard today. Nobodys Darlin But Mine by Jimmie Davis. Guaranteed to bring a lump to your throat.

I'm not a fan of country music, but if I have to pick one, it's Temporary Home by Carrie Underwood. Made me tear up a little.

I thought Dolly Parton's "Me and Little Andy" and Reba McEntire's song about Ruby Wilson were the saddest songs in the world when I first heard them. I was around six and I remember my face being very wet afterward...

[Madcap Syzygii]

Holy Crud, Nathrad Sheare!! I was thinking the same ones! Those are such sad songs! But I was also thinking Tanya Tucker's "What's Your Mama's Name." Now how could you have forgotten to mention that one??

Oh my god! I feel wretched for leaving out this horribly sad song: "Twenty Years Ago" by Kenny Rogers. Wow...

[Nathrad Sheare]

Oh, I'm like the absent- minded conjurer, aren't I? How could I be so silly?

[Bighuey]

Billy Venero by Marty Robbins. Its about a boy who saves his sweetheart from an attack by Apaches and dies in the attempt.

[Madcap Syzygii]

I hate sad songs...they're so sad! But...I love them...because...well because they're so sad!! They all have such terrific stories behind them, it's hard not to love/hate them.

[Bighuey]

There have been so many sad country songs over the years it would take a book to list them all. A few more are...
I Havent Seen Mary In Years - Bill Monroe
Theres a Star-Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere - Elton Britt
Beyond The Sunset - Hank Williams - Elton Britt and Rosalie Allen did a killer version of it too.
When The Works All Done This Fall - Tex Ritter
Shenandoah - Another Tex Ritter

[terrametoo]

Dale Watson - Sweet Jesse Brown
Dolly Parton - Jolene
Johnny Cash - Hurt (like it much more than Trent Reznor's)

Another sad Johnny Cash song is - I hung my head

Congrete Angel by Martina Mcbride
Probably wouldn't be this way by Leann Rimes
Like we never loved at all by Faith Hill & Tim Mcgraw
There you'll be by Faith Hill

[Fran]

Probably not country but I'm not into catagorising my music, I just like what I like ...
