When I heard a recording of Leadbelly performing this song I was struck by the mournful feel of the shallow ballad...I found myself listening to it fairly often, liking it a bit more with each listening. When I heard Nirvana's version of this featured on MTV Unplugged I found that I was hearing the song as I felt it should have been sung...replicating a kind of pain that must have been felt as it was written. This version will haunt a listener for a long time, and more than likely become a favorite.

First off, I'll admit I never heard Leadbelly's original version of this song.Kurt Cobain was a huge Leadbelly fan. I only heard the short sample available here on amazon.com.It's a great song about obsession, jealousy and Cobain adds maybe some rage with his vocals. He just puts everything he has into his performance of this song, especially near the end. If you listen carefully (and you can clearly see this if you have the DVD of this concert like I do) you can hear him sigh as he sings the last line of the song. That concert was filmed less than 5 months before Cobain ended his life; this was just a tremendous heartfelt ending to that great Unplugged performance by Nirvana.
