singin' your crosses

So here's just a short list, a very short list of a few lines from a few different Country and Western songs.  So sad.  Grabbing the sad and making it their own and sharing it with the whole world.  Can you guess any of these without Googling them?  And who the artist was/is?

 

Crazy, I’m crazy for feeling so lonely
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you’d leave me for somebody new.

Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he’s lost the will to live
I’m so lonesome I could cry

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild.

In the summertime we didn't have shoes to wear
But in the wintertime we'd all get a brand new pair
From a mail order catalog money made by selling a hog
Daddy always managed to get the money somewhere

I hate that stupid old pick up truck
you never let me drive
You're a redneck heartbreak whose
really bad at lyin'

Any guesses?  Each set of lyrics is from a different, sad, cross carryin', wailing, Country and Western, know how to suffer song.   Y'know who really has it together?  Catholic cowboys.
