Add to the list of "Dead Date" songs --

Ebony Eyes
Laura (ghost who left her sweater in the car)

Jeri, Carol Coronis and I spent part of a summer around Carol's pool singing dead date songs. Then one night at the weekly Press Room session I got up and went into a long jargon-laden spiel about how we'd recently unearthed a forgotten genre of American folk music that hadn't had any research and very little study done and nothing was published , etcet etcet ad nauseam (wish I could remember the whole schtick) and we broke into "Patches" -- later that evening even did "Long Black Veil" which is probably a subgenre.
