Pete St. John has stated he wrote the words as well as the music for the Irish folk Ballad, "The Fields of Athenry." Though a claim was made in 1880 that similar words were written by someone else. The national football team in Ireland adopted this song in 1990 during the World Cup and later on by the Celtic supporters in the 1990s.
