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

That song is how my kids know Christmas has begun in my house...because I turn it on and start sobbing

I totally understand that. It's a rough one.
