There's a song Doc Watson does called "Rev. Hicks Farewell"
It was written by a reverend/missionary in Tennessee pre-Civil War. He had gotten sick and thinking he was going to die he wrote a song and sent it to his wife to possibly be published. The slow fiddle version on the Folkways release is haunting and awesome.

Ohio by N.Young. Pretty obvious one. About the Kent St. shootings.

I know a bunch of songs with cool stories behind them. I'll try to mention some more as I think of them.
