Not a cover. She wrote it.

@Stevenramm No. This song was written by Tom Waits for his 1987 album "Frank's Wild Years" This is a good cover but she did not write the song. If shes lucky she wasn't a sperm when this song was written.

@TheChrisDAmatoShow Someone call Tom and let him know this person is indeed making a brave attempt to cover his song. I am not a basher but perhaps she should at least listen to other version of this before taking this leap. It is not bad but not sure its fair. Tom without a doubt wrote this and not many good artists can implement the elements he intended. Look what Buddy Guy did with "Mary had a little lamb"....just sayin thats what I want to hear when someone doing a cover, something funky

Wow, one of the best covers I've ever heard.
