No

Pretty much all of the known Westron that Tolkien created can be found in Appendix F to The Lord of the Rings (or the earlier drafts of that Appendix published in HoMe volume 12), where Tolkien gives them as "examples" of the decisions he had to make while "translating" the book.

Scarcely little else has ever been brought to life that Tolkien wrote in Westron, and none of it is in the forms of long passages or even full phrases.

You can see a list of all known Westron words here. It's pretty short.

Additionally, there are a few more pages of Tolkien drafting materials for Appendix F that concern Westron which have not been published, and are currently held in Marquette University in Mss-4/2/15. Lisa Star has written a report on these papers in Tyalie Tyelellieva #17.
