Country Roads ~ Pretty Sally Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCCBDEDDE FGFFGHEHHE BGBBGIEIIE| The diggers came from Bendigo | A |
| From Albury the drovers | B |
| From where the Goulburn waters flow | C |
| Came bearded teamsters travelling slow | C |
| And all the brown bush rovers | B |
| And where the road goes winding still | D |
| To dropp to Melbourne valley | E |
| They sought the shanty by the hill | D |
| And called for beer and drank their fill | D |
| And sparked with Pretty Sally | E |
| - | |
| The teamsters halted by the door | F |
| To give their horses water | G |
| And stood about the bar room floor | F |
| To ogle while they had one more | F |
| The shanty keeper's daughter | G |
| Diggers with gold from creek to claim | H |
| About her used to rally | E |
| Shearers and booted stockmen came | H |
| And to the hill they gave her name | H |
| For all loved Pretty Sally | E |
| - | |
| I see her now a sparkling lass | B |
| Brim full of fun and laughter | G |
| And where the slow teams used to pass | B |
| And swagmen paused to beg a glass | B |
| Now motor cars speed after | G |
| And when I seek the road anew | I |
| That dips down to the valley | E |
| I see again that bearded crew | I |
| And of the lovers wonder who | I |
| At last wed Pretty Sally | E |
