Why sioux rhymes the way it does
The phonology of sioux is a one-syllable core: the front /ษ/ (/ษ/), then it trails off into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 56, assonance 3,981, and consonance 288. 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. Sioux works hardest when the slant carries the verse and the strict match closes the chorus.
