Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
It's sleepin, it's a beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out, and preserve it
Right there in that jar?
One of my favorite tunes.
It read, 'Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.
But I have no courage to speak to your face.
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou, There be no wedding today'

Can't forget Dear Doctor, one of the first songs that made me take notice of Mick's versatile talent as a vocalist beyond his regular rock singing voice.

If you're not depressed and ready to drown your sorrows in whiskey, listen to Gary Stewart and you'll get that way

Tears in Heaven by Clapton is the epitome of sorrowful songs imo.

In various manifestations, Roger Waters' lyrical work reflects the fact his father died (Anzio) when he was 5 months old.
You get an explicit peek into that with When the tigers broke free.
That's tough to beat. You also hear it on The Final Cut with the track, The Gunner's Dream.

I'll add Nick Drake

Nick Drake is very depressing.
Another vote for Townes Van Zandt, Gary Stewart, and Gram Parsons.
When Parsons sings, his voice just makes it sound like he's begging for help. Stewart's songs make feel like bellying up to the bar and drinking enough whiskey to float a battleship.

Just listened to When the Tigers Broke Free, love that song. I saw that Waters and Gilmour worked with Michael Kamen on some of their Floyd material and also some solo sessions. That led me to take a look at Kamen's body of work...holy smokes, that guy had a brilliant career.

I came in to add this since several good names have already been listed.
The thing about Nick is, while it was obvious he was a very depressed person, his music wasn't exactly sorrowful in an obvious context. I have always considered it to be more melancholy, just disguised to not feel overly so.
I mean really, outside of Pink Moon, his other albums were actually pretty cheerful sounding, and his lyrics are ambiguous enough where they could be interpreted as hopeful or sorrowful.
Plus, his voice and guitar style make me feel like I'm laying in a hammock during the fall in northern California.
No doubt in retrospect his albums, especially Pink Moon, take on a much darker tone considering his ultimate fate.

I've aged 20 years in 5
These days I barely get by
If drinking don't kill me (her memory will)
Still doing time
These are some songs that come to mind

ETA: an example
Miner's Refrain
In the black dust towns of east Tennessee
All the work's about the same
And you may not go to the job in the ground
But you learn the miner's refrain
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
When you search the rain for the silver cloud
And you wait on days of gold
When you pitch to the bottom
And the dirt comes down
You cry so cold, so cold
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole,
Down in a deep, dark hole
