Answer 1

Answer: The Fields of Athenry

Step-by-step explanation:

This Irish folk ballad was written in 1979 by Pete St. John. Set during the Great Famine of the 1840s, it tells a story based on real-life events about a young man near Athenry in County Galway who was deported to the Australian penal colony at Botany Bay because he stole corn to feed his starving family. Since then, the song has been played by many artists and became a famous anthem in Irish sports events.
