The Bluegrass Messengers have put several of the lyrics, including "For Bales," on their website.
There are errors in the DT "For Bales."
Third verse- baggage for bagging.
Failure to put some words in quotes- "Ring," "soap." A few other word differences are unimportant. The sheet music is at the Levy Collection website.

O'Neill's "Music of Ireland," 1850, has the title and tune "Johnny Fill Up the Bowl." I don't believe that any lyrics are there; it may have been just a dance tune. I should have a copy of the book in a few days (paperback reprints available used cheap) and will be able to check. In any case, except for lyrics, the title and tune are pre-Civil War.

Listened to several midis, etc. of "John Anderson..." - I dunno whether it is a forebear or a coincidence of tunes. The Olsen site has the earliest versions- 1744, 1768 (first with a tune) in their Scarce Songs 2.
