Lots of songs I never get tired of playing (and singing). Some of my favorites are these:

"The Weight" by the Band
"Key to the Highway" (a version in the vein of Derek and the Dominoes)
"Same Old Blues" by Freddie King
"3 O'Clock Blues" by B. B. King
"The Highway Song" by Free
 
My favorite music job ever was playing the part of Don Felder in an Eagle's Tribute Residency at a casino. We played (2) 2-1/2 hour shows Monday through Thursday, an extra late night Friday show and (1) on Saturday night.

My cut was $1,200/week with my own room and meals comped 100%. I never got tired of that music, even playing it over and over again. Each time I performed, I strived to play better.

I'm still looking for another residency...
 
Saint James Infirmary - I like the sound of minor chords. It's an old standard that has been covered by everyone from Louis Armstrong, Cab Callow, to Joe Cocker, and the Allman Brothers. Here's my favourite version of this song.
