The first that came to mind for me! What an incredible voice! And written by Warren Zevon.

I'm late to the game tonight, but I nominate...

"Rich Woman" is a song written by Dorothy LaBostrie and McKinley "Li'l" Millet, who recorded it in 1955; and was most notably recorded by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss on their 2007 album Raising Sand.

“Poor Side of Town - Johnny Rivers” — always one of my faves. Great nomination!

I really like Cash's rendition of "Wayfaring Stranger." I've got 13 versions of the song in my Apple Music personal library including Cash's version.

Trace Adkins does a great rendition, too. Other faves are Suzy Bogguss, Ed Gerhard, Bob Gibson, Doc & Merle Watson, Eva Cassidy (this is GREAT), and Kristin Chenowith.

But I like Joan Baez's rendition of "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" even more and maybe best of all. That version if from the 1969 "David's Album." It is so mournful yet uplifting. A great arrangement for an amazing song.

LOL. Talk about being down and out.

Les Baxter~The Poor People Of Paris

Here is one that has the same effect:

Let Him Roll -- Guy Clark

Now he was a wino tried and true
Done about everything there is to do
He worked on freighters and he worked in bars
He worked on farms and he worked on cars

Well it was white port wine that put that look in his eyes
Grown men get when they need to cry
We sat down on the curb to rest
His head just fell down on his chest

He says, "Every single day it gets just
A little bit harder to handle and yet"
Then he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered
And the words just rolled off down the gutter

Well he was an elevator man in a cheap hotel
In exchange for the rent on a one room cell
And he was old years beyond his time
No thanks to the world and the white port wine

Now don't go psychoanalyzing me on why I like songs like that!
