Tale of woe (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sob story

'tale of woe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sob story that I've seen before include "Tale of misfortune" , "Account intended to evoke sympathy" , "Sentimental tale designed to arouse sympathy" , "tale of woe" , "Plea for sympathy from Tory boss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
