So much in the space of folk (of many cultures), your examples are closer to that than most other music. Indeed some of the best music out there melds the poetry perfectly with the music. It's an art that doesn't exist if either part is missing.

Example that comes to mind, Nanci Griffith's 'Wing and the Wheel' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDs1kXTS9r8

    The wing and the wheel they carry things away
    Whether it's me that does the leavin' or the love that flies away
    The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
    Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle big enough for an old fool to hide
    
    Where are all the dreamers that I used know?
    We used to linger beneath street lamps in the halos and the smoke
    The wing and the wheel came to carry them away
    Now they all live out in the suburbs where their dreams
    Are in their children at play
    
    There's a pale sky in the east all the stars are in the west
    Oh, here's to all the dreamers may our open hearts find rest
    The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along
    And we'll have memories for company long after the songs are gone
