Hank Williams' Sorrowful Song.

By using sad and sorrowful diction in his song titled "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", writer Hank Williams presents a depressing mood to his audience. He repeatedly says the title phrase throughout the song, putting emphasis on the state of being in which he is in. Williams cleverly uses words such as "weep", "die", "cloud", and "cry" to illustrate an image of someone who clearly is in a state of depression. By using sad and gloomy lyrics, Williams is able to underscore the theme of the pain that one goes through after losing their lover. He shows how lonely one can be, after they feel like they have lost the most important person in the world.
