I'm tempted to say something by Mahler, but he never wrote any songs, to my knowledge.
I've just told Mama goodbye by Hank Williams is the saddest that springs to mind from his Hank stuff. I couldn't pick anything from the Luke the Drifter stuff... that's easily the most successfully bleak stuff I can think of.
Dolly Parton's I will always love you.
Laura Cantrell's Bees/ When the roses bloom again
Kenny Roger's Lucille... in fact, just thinking about it makes me want to blubber.
And there's a few rock songs and a few proper pop songs that I can think of, but I can't be arsed with explaining why. Basically, it's all about country.
