alonewiththemoon: Drumlin Farm Banding Station 2016 (fruityoatytrio)
I stumbled across a reference to this song at Boing Boing and tracked the album down.  Nick Cave has done a duet with Dan Zanes, who does "21st century all ages family music, made for kids and grownups to enjoy together." The track is called "Sweet Rosyanne."

Album info:
http://festivalfive.com/catchtrain/ctt.shtml

Clip can be heard here:
http://www.emusic.com/album/10919/10919784.html
where the album review says "Even gloom-monger Nick Cave, dropping in for the sailor's waltz "Sweet Rosyanne," sounds huggable. If Zanes can melt his fierce heart, cranky children and worn-out parents haven't a prayer."

or you can hear a clip by following the CD Baby link in the festivalfive link, though it kept timing out on me just now.

I would be *skeptical* to put it mildly about Nick Cave on a children's album, but this sounds like the sort of artist I might want my children to listen to, if I had any.  It's a nice enough song, I'll probably grab it through emusic.
