It’s been covered by Eric Clapton and Guns N’ Roses, and by Warren Zevon in 2003, when he was suffering from lung cancer (Zevon died shortly after the album release). Here is a version by Avril Lavigne from 11 years ago:
I am the bestselling author of nine novels, including the Swiss Chocolate trilogy and VILLA DEL SOL, which won the 2018 Book Award in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.
My newest series includes the books A JINGLE VALLEY WEDDING, APRIL IN GALWAY, and ALL’S WELL IN JINGLE VALLEY.
Find my books online at Amazon, locally at Stillwater Books (Pawtucket, Rhode Island) and Ink Fish Books (Warren, Rhode Island).

Funny, besides the title words, I don’t remember any of the lyrics!

I actually had this album (Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid) – I was heavily into my Dylan phase.

Always a great song! I had not heard this version before either. A powerful voice!

I’ve hear of Avril Lavigne, of course, but am not familiar with her music. This is achingly beautiful.
