What is your favorite song that actually tells a story?

Posted on 04/22/2022 3:56:36 PM PDT by Beowulf9

I admit I saw this elsewhere but I thought it might be a good thing to put here because honestly I look and listen to songs people post. I am always entertained and it opens my mind to many different avenues of musical tastes I have not known before. I hope ones like this column.

I'll start with not my very favorite but one I think many do not know. Traffic's John Barleycorn must die.
