Cross Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDEDFBGB

My old man's a white old manA
And my old mother's blackB
If ever I cursed my white old manA
I take my curses backB
If ever I cursed my black old motherC
And wished she were in hellD
I'm sorry for that evil wishE
And now I wish her wellD
My old man died in a fine big houseF
My ma died in a shackB
I wonder where I'm going to dieG
Being neither white nor blackB
