Dolores O’Riordan

She was so special
One of a kind
Leading the Cranberries
A wondrous find
A mezzo soprano
A lyricist too
A real personalty
Goodly and true

She was born in Limerick
In seventy One
An exceptional pitch
And a yodel she spun
Her stories her words
She captured them all
From a working class fsmily
She rose to be tall

She played lots of gigs
Was respected was she
Fronted a band
Reputed to be
Moved by the moment
Loved very much
And what a tragedy
One that was such

An accident really
A warm bath where she
Relaxed and passed on
Emotionally
She will be remembered
For the glorious way
She sang from the heart
In her pure Irish way
