Australian group Spiderbait does a pretty good version of Black Betty, too.
AndyMan comments that Tom Jones gives a shout-out to Leadbelly in Tom's version of BB. Leadbelly, it seems, introduced the song to the world. Ah, what the heck. Let's include Leadbelly's version, too (though the video has nothing to do with the song or the performer, and the audio quality isn't that great).

Man, I thought TJ had my vote fo' sho' but the Spiderbait versin, it aint bad (I mean you know for the song and all) Course aint TJ Scottish? I've always liked Scotch.
Scotch is good, but I'm pretty sure Tom is from Wales (not from Whales, that'd just be weird).
