(I found this wonderful version from 1956 on 10″ a few weeks ago. The whistling in the outro is something else!)

There used to be a beautiful version of this on Youtube by Jolie Holland that I looked for to post, but it’s been blocked. Here’s the original instead, from Waits’ 1992 Bone Machine album, the first of his I ever heard.
Orthodox priest Father Seraphim and his choir (the young girl singing is Keti Iliaeva) on 30 September 2016 during Pope Francis’s visit to Georgia.
I love this!
Miley covered this Tom Petty song in tribute to him on the Howard Stern Show, 4 October 2017.
A verse is like a dove seeking a place to lay her eggs
It bursts out and spreads its wings, getting ready to fly away
My song is a song of freedom that I want to give away
(My song is a song of freedom)
To those who like shaking hands and to those willing to open fire
(My song is a song of freedom)
My song is like an endless chain
(My song is like an endless chain)
My song is like an endless chain without beginning and without end
In each one of its links you find the song of every man
Yes the song of every man
Let’s keep on singing together
Let’s sing to everyone on earth
(Let’s keep on singing together)
Since singing is like a dove who has yet a place to find,
It bursts out and spreads its wings to fly away
My song is a song of freedom…
