Looking for, not sad, per se, but slow fiddle music, like Thomas Newman's score from The Horse Whisperer [link] or Jeff Beal from Carnivale [link] or the bookends of Seminole Wind [link] but, not a score or soundtrack. I don't even know what to search for. I keep winding up with jigs and rags and bagpipes and Cajun music when I'm looking for sorrowful or contemplative or just ambient.
Mal: Okay. She won't be winning any beauty contests anytime soon. But she is solid. Ship like this, be with ya 'til the day you die. Zoe: 'Cause it's a deathtrap.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The first half of this medley, "The Women of Ireland" by Laurie Lewis is exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately, it's followed by an uptempo tune.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Here, The Chieftains do a lovely version of "Women of Ireland".
You basically want to search for "Irish Fiddle Lament" and you'll get lovely pieces like this slow air.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
