It's always a good idea to use the various Search facilities here -they are easy to find, and detailed instructions are in the FAQ thread at the top of the Forum page- before starting a new thread.  A search for The humour is on me returns:

I will and I must get married
The Humour Is On Me Know

Have a look at those links and see if you find what you're looking for.  There are probably others to be found, too, once you start looking.  Give it a go; you'll find some fascinating things.

Now I come to think of it, there are a few broadside copies of this, from the early 19th century, at  Bodleian Library Broadside Ballads: here is an easily legible one (large image):
