I have marked the differences between Gary Gillard's transcription and the DT version with Italics. The difference between "you'll" and "you will" may not seem significant to some people, but "you'll" definitely fits the rhythm better. (This is an argument for checking one's sources and not assuming all versions are equal.)

THOUSANDS OR MORE

The time passes over more cheerful and gay,
Since we've learnt a new act to drive sorrows away.
Sorrows away, sorrows away, sorrows away,
Since we've learnt a new act to drive sorrows away.

(Similarly:)
Bright Phoebe awakes so high up in the sky
With her red, rosy cheeks and her sparkaling eye....

If you ask for my credit you'll find I have none,
With my bottle and friend you will find me at home....

Although I'm not rich and although I'm not poor,
I'm as happy as those that's got thousands or more....
