Davy Jones Theme by Hans Zimmer fits almost perfectly to the rhyme, the Firefly Cellar atmosphere, and even starts with calypsos music box.
SHEMSHIME is pronounced Shem-Shim-ee, and I made a few very slight changes to improve the cadence, although it's possible to make the original work if you want to use the handout. Changes are in brackets.

Heres a handy clip of the music box on loop:

See a mother scything wheat
Forgotten husband sleeping near
With one swing she took his feet
(A second) took his ear
Does the shadow have a name?
SHEMSHIME, (SHEMSHIME)
Causes grief, avoids the blame
(The shadow) - SHEMSHIME
See a dog that knows how to heel
Never heeds plea, nor command
Mother gave it a tasty meal
Dog chose () to eat her hand
Does the shadow have a name?
SHEMSHIME, (SHEMSHIME)
Causes grief, avoids the blame
(The shadow) - SHEMSHIME
See a son (a-labouring)
Washing clothes for folk in town
Fell into the river’s roar
Sank to the bottom(,) drowned
Does the shadow have a name?
SHEMSHIME, (SHEMSHIME)
Causes grief, avoids the blame
(The shadow) - SHEMSHIME
That's really nice! The Pan's Labyrinth lullaby also works pretty well and is a bit simpler of a melody:
