The original, performed by Nick Cave:
The version that turned me onto this song, by Johnny Cash (as you can see, the lyrics are clearer in this version, letting the man's desperation sink in as he repeats the same stanza over and over with little variations before he finally gives up):

That inspired this:
'Red Right Hand'
Nick Cave (the original, still the best)
Arctic Monkeys (I hate this one)
Fidlar (meh)
Boru
