I heard this on my way to town. I've hear it before, but I had to fight a little tear.

Any you like to be sad about?

I cant listen to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

"Honey (I Miss You) by Bobby Goldsboro

Ok, this isn't a sad song but it's a jerker.

One of the absolute worst, if not THE worst songs to listen to during the holidays when things aren't going well.

You beat me to it.

How about running into an old love when you are going through hard times?

Not sure it's that sad but it did win an Oscar for best song of all time, I think.

I gotta put this one in here. Great lyrics outstanding song.

Obviously the title track from the album World Coming Down (my fave off it)....

but this one aint no party either

Don't Take the Girl - Tim McGraw

The saddest

Porky Pig's version of Blue Christmas.

Hill

Tears in Heaven- Clapton.

Saddest Song ever recorded.

Every time I hear that song, I always think it is amazing the agony that guy conveys with his voice.

It was supposedly a true story.

Here's Glen

Thats the one. I get choked up just thinking about Clapton having to sing that song.

At George Jones funeral

Having trouble posting stuff for some reason, but here's a few ....

Moody River ....Pat Boone

Where Oh Where Did My Baby Go.....J. Frank Wilson

Ebony Eyes....Everly Brothers

Tell Laura I Love Her.....Ray Peterson

Patches...........Dicky Lee

I saw somebody poste Whisky Lullaby, but this runs a close second. Cash's take on it was way sadder than NIN

The saddest song of all. I have prayed my final pray

Now the real saddest. Get your hankies

GOOD MUSIC- we are all the same. Really, really, really sad.

Very sad song - Alison Krauss and Union Station - "Ghost in this House".

You folks posted some good stuff here.

I like "Moon River" a lot - a real favorite - beautifully written lyric and music - but it is not at all sad for me.

I love sad songs. Many good ones here posted already. I humbly submit this one:

I forgot all about Chocolate Charlie!

Teddy Bear by Red Sovine.

Breaker, breaker, heart breaker. Good buddy if that'un don't make big tears roll down your cheeks, you ain't human.
Just thinking about that little cripple boy....

But, if I gave that kid a ride in my big truck, I would expect a "pay back" from Mrs. Mama Bear, if you know what I mean.

Havent read the whole thread, but this one would bring tears to the eyes of a wild hog!

Good one Bob!!!

Here’s another! Gene Autry hisself!!!

That's either great, or bellow the belt Bob!!!!!!

Just the songs I grew up hearin’ Richard!

😉

To this day it’s hard for me to make it all way thru Ol’ Shep!

My Favorite Memory - Merle Haggard.

Come Some Rainy Day - Wynonna

Evidently many forget about them supposed to be at least a tad sad.

https://youtu.be/mHuT2PRhUn8?t=98

Hall and Oates- "She's Gone"
Charley Pride- "Im Sorry"

And, the winner is

Love this one, but it is not sad to me. As a committed bachelor who never joined the “take a chance at losing half your stuff” club, this song is a message of affirmation.

The second runner up is :

Winner without a doubt! The video from Lonestar!

Yep. They don't get any sadder than this one.

Bobby Bare...."Let Him Roll".

One of my all time favorites......the song, and Bare.

Mickey Newbury has many, and wrote many for others. By far, the saddest album of all time is "Frisco Mabel Joy." I don't think there's a single song on it that wouldn't be a candidate for this thread.
An American Trilogy
How Many Times (Must The Piper Be Paid For His Song)
The Future's Not What It Used To Be
Mobile Blue
Frisco Depot
You're Not My Same Sweet Baby
Remember The Good
Swiss Cottage Place
How I Love Them Old Songs

In my opinion, nothing is sadder than the title track, "San Francisco Mabel Joy." Driving alone in my truck, in moments of Low T I suppose, I've cried to this.

Enjoy, or cry. Take a listen.
Steve.

Here you go Cretch, sad one for sure.

How about this one?

Thanks Nighthawk & Prwlr!

Go rest high on that mountain... Vince Gill

Lead me home, Jamie Johnson. Played at a lot of military funerals I am told.

Good one. Even though I don’t think Vince meant it to be a sad song. It always gets my allergies stirred up though.
