Why would it be odd for a Newry man to go to Covent Garden?
It only says he was born in Newry,a Newry man can travel.

@osammyboy93 No problem, and I agree it's a great song.

@BarryBurtonfan Thanks for response. First time I sang it at a session I was corrected. i think it might be a bit odd for the Newry highwayman to go to Covent Garden to see "the play". Anyway it is a great song and Sean is up there among my favourite singers and the song is now part of my repertoire.
