By deep I mean with the most obscure original. I am not talking ‘all along the watch tower’ but things like Fever Ray’s cover of Vashti Bunyan’s song Here before

Fever Ray is relatively well known while Bunyan had very limited success

Metallica might have been more influenced by the Thin Lizzy version. But the song is older than The Dubliners.
