I don't think it does seem to prove that, but if it were so - that songs of 'longing and nostalgia' are more prevalent about Scotland and Ireland (and Wales?) - then this might be because of greater involuntary migration from those countries, particularly to America. Perhaps emigrants from England were more likely to go by choice. Are there any songs along the lines of "Glad to see the back of Smethwick!"?
