Rhyme Scheme: ABACDEDE FGFGHGHG IJIJKJKJ GFGFLJLJ| After working hard all day | A |
| In the office | B |
| How much worse on homeward way | A |
| My old cough is | C |
| Barney's Bar is gaily lit | D |
| Let me stop there | E |
| Just to buck me up a bit | D |
| Have a drop there | E |

| As I stand beside the screen | F |
| Hesitating | G |
| I have thought of how Noreen | F |
| Will be waiting | G |
| Baby Patsy in her lap | H |
| Gay and laughing | G |
| While at Barney's foaming tap | H |
| I am quaffing | G |
| - | |
| Barney's Bar is mighty bright | I |
| Looks so cheery | J |
| Wonder what I'll drink tonight | I |
| Gee I'm weary | J |
| Will I have Scotch or Rye | K |
| Bourbon maybe | J |
| Then I see with mental eye | K |
| Wife and baby | J |
| - | |
| So I say 'tis malted milk | G |
| I'll be skoffin' | F |
| Sooth my throttle sleek as silk | G |
| Ease my coughin' | F |
| Say I love them two to death | L |
| Sure they miss me | J |
| With no whisky on my breath | L |
| How they'll kiss me | J |
