Nightrider's Lament comes immediately to mind:

As I was riding the graveyard shift, from midnight to dawn,

The moon was as bright as a reading light,
For a letter from an old friend back home...

Older songs also come to mind -- Rebel Soldier, High Barbary, Greenland Fisheries....The Jackets Green...RIsing of the Moon.

It's a piece of the art, innit?
