Hmmm. When I try to sing the words to the tune I have in mind, they don't seem to fit. We better check to see if you and I are talking about the same tune. Here's the URL for the article I used:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linstead_Market

Near the bottom of the page it says "External Links" in big type, and below that in small, purple type it says "Hear a MIDI rendition of the song." Click on the purple to listen.

Now there are three questions to answer:

Is that the tune you have in mind?

how many verses do you want to sing?

Isn't that MIDI going way too fast? Try singing along with it and see what you think. (I can easily slow it down.)

Thank you for bringing me happy memories. I had a vinyl LP of steel drum music once, and song was on it. It's a charming piece.
