Can you post a song about someone dying? There were a handful of these in the early 60s...usually about teenage lovers,

I love the opening to this song!  I really, really, like the song, too... but the opening really sets the mood!!

I'm sorry I didn't post these all at once.  They came to me one by one while I was thinking of some songs.
In my opinion, this is one of the all-time classics of people, a lifestyle, a sound, and a generation.  I don't want to say "dying" necessarily because it will never die.  The people may have but their sound and influences live on!

I'll give you a daisy a day dear. It is a song about a  young man that promissed to give his new bride a daisy a day. And he kept that promise long after she died of old age. Cheers and  happy weekend!

Yes.

This one.. very cool as it reminds me of the very old folk ballads my mum used to sing..  I can't remember how to post vids so this may take a few attempts. 

Friends That Died by the Jim Carroll  band. Cheers and happy  weekend!
