Company of Thieves - Delta Saints (this century too )

 

[Bliss]

The saddest of them all, The Green Green Grass Of Home. I believe it was originally recorded by Porter Wagner and covered by many male and female artists. This is Dean Martin's recording, which I believe is the most poignant.

Two more that are definitely not domestic.

Here is Joan Baez singing a Dylan written song about a bank robbery, a murder, and more. It is a complex long plot for a song, but intelligible ... after all it was Dylan I also supplied links to background info (a detailed wikipedia entry) and lyrics (worth a skim). The lyrics, when read to Baez by Dylan, supposedly inspired her to write the classic "Diamonds and Rust".

I read Jims post and I was confusing Crash with Clash but my son is a big fan of I fought the Law and Bankrobber.
