  Have any good tear jerker songs?

Need some good country tear jerker songs? My Sister-in-law loves sad songs but she's the funnest thing you'll ever see. She starts crying and I don't mean just a few tears, I'm talking water works. She cries so hard she ends up with the hick-ups and that's almost as funny as the crying.

The first time I seen it was a few weeks ago, I was singing/playing the song "Mama" by Roy Orbison. It didn't matter how many times I sang it she cried just as hard each time. My wife and I and two other couples never laughed so hard, my side was hurting at the end of the night,lol.

She's a beautiful girl but wears way to much make-up, her face looks like a total mess in just a short time. I know I'm evil, but I can't help myself, it's just too funny! lol

from lyin' on my back
in my bed
cryin' over you"

Hurt - Johnny Cash recorded it shortly before he died R.I.P., i think Nine inch nails did the original version.

Play it and weep

Cheers
