Does anyone have the words of the song "Just to cheer him up and help him on his way".

I can remember a verse about a lover trying to hang himself:

... I said look where you've got that rope,
He looked and said "Oh heck".
So I took the rope from round his waist and put it round his neck.
Just to cheer him up and help him on his way.

And another verse about someone drowning:

He said "Drop me a line, or I will drown I fear".
So with my fountain pen I wrote "A prosperous New Year".
Just to cheer him up and help him on his way.
