St. Stephen's Green is a park in Dublin Ireland. I wonder if that's the reference.

[@gazza63a14]

its also known as 'Newry Highwayman' (thats what it was also titled on the setlist that night) - hence the 'from around here' intro and the reference to Newry in the first line.

[@geraldinemccarthy7084]

St. Stephen's Green was a place of public execution before it was a park.
