I agree that almost everyone of the songs that have been sited are great songs, but I still maintain that Hank Sr’s. song, “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” (ISLICC)is one of if not the best sad songs ever penned,

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is definitely one of the saddest country songs. Hank Williams knew how to sing a sad country song. I learned that when Hank would do a show, he always wanted to see people cryin', and if there weren't any people cryin', Hank would tell his steel player, Don Helms to play a real high steel turnaround so people would start cryin'.

Wayland Holyfield wrote Don Williams' song "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend". Another sad song is Vince Gill's "Go Rest High On That Mountain". Vince started to write that song after Keith Whitley died and a few years later, he finished writing the song after his brother died. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI Ultra D-10
