I can't tell you what is her SADDEST song, that depends on your personal mood.
But aside from "Gloomy Sunday"/"Strange Fruit". The SADDEST song she did IMHO is her own personal fave "Deep Song": Lonely grief is hounding me Like the lonely shadow hounding me It's always there just out of sight Like a fragling tree on a lightening night Lonely wind cries out my name Sad as haunted music in the rain It's born of grief and born of woe But I hear it call and I've got to go Where can I be headed for The blues call in my north To lick my heart once more Love lives in a lonely land Where there's no helping hand to understand Why does it bring this hate to me Why it don't matter why I only know misery has to be part of me Never hope to count on love To be a partner of that heaven above Never hope to understand Love is a barrel land A lonely land, a lonely land And her interpretation of "For All We Know",,,shit, the WHOLE Lady In Satin album is her saddest IMHO.

& STRANGE FRUIT This is more than a song. I can't even find words to describe it. [Edited 11/20/05 10:34am] I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the dirt. | |

co-sign. "Good Morning Heartache" is really sad to me. Not that the lyrics are especially sad, but there's just something heartbreaking about the way she's accepting, almost embracing, that heartache is just going to be her constant companion. The Normal Whores Club | |

...and her version of "I Loves You Porgy" is absolutely devastating.
Don’t let him take me Don’t let him handle me And drive me mad If you can keep me I wanna stay here with you forever And I’ll be glad ... Someday I know he’s coming to call me He’s going to handle me and hold me It's going to be like dying, Porgy When he calls me But when he comes I know I’ll have to go Sometimes I can't even listen to it.
