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

    Well apparently people think Darius Rucker wrote the Old Crow Medicine Show song Rock Me Mama, and what’s more, OCMS in their turn credited it (in jest) to Bob Dylan.

    Drives me crazy that people don’t know Stomp and Holler is a Hayes Carll song, and that Hallelujah is a Leonard Cohen song, and Downtown Train a Tom Waits song, too.

    But I don’t know if any of these are as obscure as you are looking for. You are looking for songs even music people don’t think of as covers?
