These rather sad songs always makes me fill up whenever I hear them

Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken) sung by Tom T. Hall


And also by Tom T. Hall...

Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine


Now please post yours.:D
 

Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine….that made me cry…but it was good. Thanks Boozer.

Fred's wife died a month before he wrote this song for her called "Oh Sweet Lorraine". He wasn't a singer but he entered it into a Singer/Lyrics Contest held by GreenShoe Studio. Fred didn't meet the criteria for the contest but GreenShoe decided to produce it professionally into a studio recorded song…all at no expense to Fred. The whole story is endearing and restores your faith in humanity but if you want to skip to the song then move the marker to 5:30 halfway through.

I first heard Mom And Dad Waltz, sung by Doris Day on an LP. It was written by Lefty Frizzell, and here is the story behind it.

"I was in Dallas, Texas, not working at the time. We got plenty hungry and it was only natural to think of Mom and Dad out in west Texas. I was thinking that I'd be glad to walk miles to see Mom and Dad, maybe for a good Sunday dinner or something, and it just eased out." — Lefty Frizzell
