"Between the Beggar's Mantle and the Lights o' Peterhead" is about the dying out of the fishing/replaced by oil. come to think of it, there are lots of those, but they may be more currant than you are after. "Lads o' the Fair" is also contemporary, but gets at some of those issues. There's a comic one I remember hearing called "I wish I was in Liverpool" about someone who is so citified that the idea of going back to the country is appalling

I wish I was in Liverpool Liverpool town where I was born Where there ain't no trees, no scented breeze, no fields of waving corn Where there's lots of girls witn peroxide curls and the black and tan flows free . . .

I'll give it some thought.
