Withered and Died
This is Linda Thompson (written by her husband Richard - one of the greatest living guitarists btw), but there are a few great versions (Elvis Costello).
The Costello version may be the most depressing song ever (different from saddest -- but don't ask me to define that difference). The original is almost happy-go-lucky by comparison.

My selection as well. Damn that song is sad...but really, really good.
ETA: Curs in the Weeds by HorseFeathers is pretty sad too IMO.

Tears in heaven by clapton - once you realize its about his red son
If you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot isn't very uplifting either.

yeah I just didnt see his on youtube
EC can really crank the depression. His version of "A Good Year For the Roses" is deeply depressing.
How bout that song he wrote for Cold Mountain?
Alison Krauss is an angel

I literally tear up every time I listen to this song, and my dad is still very much alive. If my dad had died recently I'm not sure I would be able to get through this one

I'd Be Better Off in a Pine Box by Doug Stone
I said the night you left me,
Nothin' worse could ever happen,
But seeing you with someone else proved that I was wrong.
And when your eyes met mine,
I knew that you were gone forever,
Along with all the reasons , I had for hanging on.
I'd be better off in a pine box,
On a slow train back to Georgia,
Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.
I think I'd rather die,
And go to hell and face the devil,
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.
I always thought that someday,
We might get back together.
I just thought you needed time to spread your wings and fly.
But when I saw the lovin' way,
You held onto each other,
It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry.
I'd be better off in a pine box,
On a slow train back to Georgia,
Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.
I think I'd rather die,
And go to hell and face the devil,
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.
Girl I'd be better off in a pine box,
On a slow train back from Georgia,
Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.
I think I'd rather die,
And go to hell and face the devil,
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.
I can't lie here with you and him together on my mind
