Eric Burdon & War and Jefferson Airplane's versions spring to mind
Edit: There's actually a video of some old white guy singing and playing guitar. He sings it with such conviction and you believe every word he says. Like, musically those other 2 versions rock, but I BELIEVE him when he sings (whoever he his)
"I was born
In a dump
My mother died
My daddy got drunk and left me here to die
Alone
In the middle of tobacco road"
