i believe it's "i called guess who"
not sure who Big Sue would be in the context of the song

"Friends in Low Places" GB is another fave, but I can't go against the Possum. Some additional songs would be "Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" Waylon and Willie; "Simple Man" by CDB; "Dixieland Delight" by Alabama; and a new fave "Favorite Country Song" by Hardy.
Edited to add: "Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Jr.

Well that would throw me off.
I've always thought it was Big Sue, who I assumed was that one big girl every town has that is everyone's last resort.

Close. "She Thinks I Still Care". It's upbeat, but the progression of the song just breaks your heart in two. It's genius. And it's why George Jones is GOAT. He's Country Music personified. My Grandfather always said, "The blues will make a man sad, but Country will make a man cry."

haha well that kind of makes sense too.
i just looked up the Reckless version and google says it's "guess who" but the Ragweed version comes up as "guess who", "dear Sue" and "Big Sue".
so who knows. great song regardless.

I'm sticking with Big Sue. That's what it always was to me. The point being he's so screwed up he's even managed to get blocked by Big Sue.

No question.
If we’re talking saddest country song ever, most critics and fans still crown “He Stopped Loving Her Today” by George Jones. It’s the ultimate tearjerker—a man holds onto love until the day he dies, and only then does he finally stop loving her. Even George Jones himself thought it was too sad to record at first.
When he starts doing that ooooooohhhh…

hot take - it's not that sad of a song in my opinion, and certainly not in discussion for saddest song ever. dude gets divorced and cant let it go. in fact, might not have even been a divorce. might just be some chick he dated. good grief bro, get yourself together.
The Grand Tour and a Good Year for the Roses are both much sadder. so is If Drinkin Dont Kill Me as well as a few other of the drinking songs from the 70s and 80s, given the context.

No matter. I still tear up hearing that song.

This was the favorite song of one of my favorite people. He loved to hear me do that song.
I did it for him for the final time about 12 years ago at his last party/fish fry, he was dying of cancer.
His sons, wife and 2 brothers were all there. We were out there in his barn cooking, drinking and bullshitting, surrounded by bassboats, canoes, homemade plywood boats and shellcracker skiffs. That's not supposed to be a crying song, but everybody did.
Almost everyone there that day are dead now
While sad I bet that was a favorite memory of everyone there when remembering one another...good stuff.

Not possible to pick one, here’s 10:
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain
Stand By Your Man
Hello Darlin’
Amarillo By Morning
Holding Her And Loving You
Silver Wings
Someday Soon
Crazy
I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
and of course
Thank God And Greyhound You’re Gone
Give me a minute and I’ll come up with a different 10
