This is what my Daddy used to call a tear jerker.

Here's another with the theme of young love lost. My first love is still with me, and later this month we will celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary (wow, what are the odds now a days?).

Here is another "beer drinkin'" song and its about white socks, very appropriate for this site I would say.

Johnny Russell's song fits this thread aptly. The red jumpsuit accommodates the extra carbs of his bar request.

Every year at the Pennsic War they have a "most depressing song" contest. You hear everything from "Go tell Aunt Roady"(the old gray goose is dead) to "Ricaty Ticka D Tin"

Our oldest son used to be in the SCA, and the local SCAers that couldn't attend the Pennsic War would hold a local Pennsic Pout.

Note: SCA = Society for Creative Anachronism

I remember when I was very young my big brother, before he went off to college, used to sing this song around the house.

A bit of a different theme, but this one has surely jerked a few tears from me over the years.

Here's one for sons and fathers alike. It will quite a room full of grown men.

Along the same lines as Douglas's theme.
