This is a fairly limited set of the covers of this song.
I compiled a list, probably incomplete, included versions by selected artists and crossed off other de-selected artists and then took a handful of what was left, probably well under 50%.

I think I stole a vote, EL
2 were listed, then after a lengthy amount of time of saving my vote only one was listed.
Other thoughts running through my brain this a.m.:
What happened to Rick Perry at the department of oops? Haven't heard much on him lately. You'd think under his expertise America'd be glowing like LCD kitchen lights by now.
Net privacy. Aren't we now effectively employees of our ISPs? We're providing them with a service and a product they're making profit on, right? I think it only fair thery provide the tools for us to perform our function--free internet. Plus, they owe us a salary, say $ 100/gig of download. Hell, ISPs are cutting into our profits!
There is no such thing as TMI. It can always be held in reserve for extortion.

I have been noticing my spam box is giving me the creeps. I mentioned in an email that a friend was shopping for mattresses. Suddenly, my spam box is full of mattress ads. Same thing happened with a casual reference to a used car and car ads, a mention that I am not sleeping well brought gobs of sleep aide ads. It has happened with mentions of travel, food, clothing, flash lights, and sinus infections. And sex? (Or lack thereof!) I was inundated with ads that ran the gamut from young, old, hetero, LGBT, just in case one of them was correct.
I expect things if I go online to buy shoes.
I am simply emailing a friend.

No biggie, thanks for dropping in & thanks for trying.

BTW, Perry has forgotten that department in the past,
sp maybe it slipped his mind again.

Hey EL. Scrolling and scrolling and scrolling your offerings,
and man, there are so many, as I indeed imagined (many I would not have known).
But alas, didn't find the one I funnily enough knew best as a hard rock kid growing up.
Check out Bon in the schoolgirl's outfit. Five years later they'd be on their way to becoming the household name they are today. Back then they were a fun and dangerous band that straddled the line between the energy of punk and boogie bluesy hard rock. When as a adolescent Catholic School kind in jr high I first saw them by staying up late and caught them on Midnight Special, I was mesmerized by their sheer power and single-mindedness, and ran out to buy their current album Powerage. Still hard to believe today they've sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Wild.
As one with the same title, I'll throw in Thin Lizzy too.
Will have to check out some of these.
Who's credited with writing it, first recorded, etc?

As a sidenote, no matter how much I like some of Van Morrison's music, I just think he's a colossal dick, and in the clip above, he looks it. SOOOOO impressed with himself.

Thanks. I cannot comment on Ulster folk, being of
Connaught lineage myself.

since there's now a clip of VM solo, I should clarify
that I was referring to the "Them" performance.

Thanks. Big Joe Williams gets the credit.
