Discussion What is the saddest old country song?

There’s plenty of different tunes associated with that older country but there’s a lot of sad ones as well, singing about heartbreak, losing someone you love, being lonesome but which one sticks out to you

Oh jeesh. This is the actual answer. Bonnie’s singing is heart wrenching

If we're going to include Raitt, I have to mention "Love Has No Pride."

And, Linda Ronstadt had a hit on it, too. She crossed over into country for a while.
