Not exactly what you're looking for 'Dough, but I love a Si Kahn song called "Blue Ridge Mountain Refugee" that speaks to the point of how moving to the work also cost many a part of their heritage. I first heard it from John McCutcheon and I think it was on his first album...but I don't think its on CD yet. Si Kahn has it on one of his own albums of course, and the lyrics are HERE - I Hope.

Very similar to the experiences told of in "The Dollmaker." I've been doing this one for almost 20 years and I love it.
