Words that rhyme with Negroes
There's a particular shape to negroes: two-syllable, built on the mid /ษ/, ending that ends in a hissed consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. What the engine returns: there are essentially no strict perfect rhymes, family rhymes come up empty, and the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous. Lyric-wise, the word reads as a word the lyric earns weight from by context. The interior life of any lyric on this word is going to be the assonance list.

Why negroes rhymes the way it does
Pull negroes apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the mid /ษ/ (/ษ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close spills into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 272, assonance 5,165, and consonance 1. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Writing-tip: don't end every line with the strict rhyme. Use the slant columns at the joints and the strict matches at the seams. Negroes works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
