A few days ago I watched a documentary about Dolly Parton's life and music and I forgot how many great songs she wrote. I am not a fan of country music but I will always find some great songs in this genre. It came that one song of this documentary never got out of my mind and after a little search in the internet I realized that there were released some fantastic cover versions.
Dolly Parton - Down From Dover
Not only because I really like the songs of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra their version of this song is outstanding.

Finally the best version comes from Jon Langford and Sally Timms. The way they arranged this song and Sally sings have convinced me that this could be the definitive version.

Thanks for sharing the Lee & Nancy version, I hadn't heard that before.
Love the Sally Timms version and indeed the original
Lee and Nancy for me but Jon and Sally more than do it justice
Great song, great versions, Walter. I think Sally & John’s tips it for me too.
Not a better version but certainly another of note is Spell aka Rose McDowall (Strawberry Switchblade) & Boyd Rice from 1993.

Great song and I love all three here but I think the inclusion of Lee's vocals with Nancy just gives it the edge.
