This version of the Newry Highwayman, from the album Erin the Green, is intimate and simple - there are other great versions on Youtube with more instruments playing. The photo shows St Stephen's Green in Dublin, where many malefactors were executed - is this the Stephen's Green referred to in the song?
The definitive version of a this lovely song. Love it.
