The Old Yaller Slicker Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEF GDGD| The old yaller slicker's the cowpuncher's friend | A |
| His saddle is never without it | B |
| It's rolled in a bundle and tied at each end | A |
| But it's ready for service don't doubt it | B |
| - | |
| When the sun bathes the hills in a dazzling flow | C |
| Across which the cloud shadows flicker | D |
| Then the night herd's asleep where the round up tents show | C |
| With his head on his old yaller slicker | D |
| - | |
| But in days when the rain drives aslant o'er the range | E |
| And the far hills the storm king is hiding | F |
| Then the old yaller slicker gleams ghostlike and strange | E |
| Where the tireless cowboy is riding | F |
| - | |
| Oh it's wrinkled and torn and it never looks new | G |
| In the town it would stir up a snicker | D |
| But the style can go hang it's a friend tied and true | G |
| is the cowpuncher's old yaller slicker | D |
