Leader of the Pack

Some that haven't been mentioned yet:

"Circus" - Eric Clapton (written about the last night he spent with his son...such a great song, but so sad)

Johnny Cash - "Hurt" (No, it wasn't originally written as a "death song," but Cash's version turns it into his epitaph...by far, the greatest cover of all time).

Johnny Cash - "I Hung My Head" (originally written by Sting..I like Cash's version better)

Johnny Cash - "Give My Love To Rose"

Marty Robbins - "El Paso" (I didn't forget this time! 😃)

Pirates Of The Mississippi - "Feed Jake"

Time -- Pink Floyd
Funeral for a Friend -- Elton John (not technically a song, but an epic instrumental)
