Words that rhyme with Blow
For the rhyme search, what matters about blow is this: one-syllable, vowel on the resonant /oส/, ending that doesn't really close at all. Songs use it for atmosphere as much as fact. This one travels in song as a movement-anchor. Search rhymes for blow long enough and you notice the pattern: the perfect-rhyme column has enough to live in, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant-vowel column carries the page on its own. Build the chorus from the strict list; the slants are saved for the bridge.

Why blow rhymes the way it does
Blow sits on the resonant /oส/, transcribed /oส/ in our engine, and tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 263 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 1225, assonance 1,936, and consonance 0. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With blow, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
