Well, there's "The Maid of Listowel", which begins "One morn in October for sweet recreation, I met a fair maid and she bleaching her clothes..." -does that ring any bells?

I live in Listowel in North Kerry.   The only songs I know that mention the town are (1) Lovely Listowel, written and sung by the late Brian McMahon; Sweet Listowel by John B. Keane, also deceased and a song called "The Tinkerman's Daughter" in which Listowel is mentioned. M
