There's Another Blessed Horse Fell Down Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFGFGHDID JKJKLDMD| When you're lying in your hammock sleeping soft and sleeping sound | A |
| Without a care or trouble on your mind | B |
| And there's nothing to disturb you but the engines going round | A |
| And you're dreaming of the girl you left behind | B |
| In the middle of your joys you'll be wakened by a noise | C |
| And a clatter on the deck above your crown | D |
| And you'll head the corporal shout as he turns the picket out | E |
| There's another blessed horse fell down | D |
| You can see 'em in the morning when you're cleaning out the stall | F |
| A leaning on the railings nearly dead | G |
| And you reckon by the evening they'll be pretty sure to fall | F |
| And you curse them as you tumble into bed | G |
| Oh you'll hear it pretty soon Pass the word for Denny Moon | H |
| There's a horse here throwing handsprings like a clown | D |
| And it's shove the others back or he'll cripple half the pack | I |
| There's another blessed horse fell down | D |
| - | |
| And when the war is over and the fighting is all done | J |
| And you're all at home with medals on your chest | K |
| And you've learnt to sleep so soundly that the firing of a gun | J |
| At your bedside wouldn't rob you of your rest | K |
| As you lay in slumber deep if your wife walks in her sleep | L |
| And tumbles down the stairs and breaks her crown | D |
| Oh it won't awaken you for you'll say It's nothing new | M |
| It's another blessed horse fell down | D |
