I’m reading a fascinating book “Before Elvis: The Prehistory of Rock ‘n’ Roll” by Larry Birnbaum (check out the crazy prices of the hardback edition on Amazon!), which traces elements of this tune back to the early 1900, and lists many if not all covers of it. This the still the best version, I think: Johnny Burnette Trio “Train Kept A-Rollin”

I like this version:

The Train Kept A-Rollin--Tiny Bradshaw & His Orchestra (1951)

The roots of Chris Kenner's 1963 hit Land of a Thousand Dances have been traced to the Hebrew song Echad Mi Yodea, which dates from the late middle ages.
