40 years ago (!) (around 1973) we went to a Fairport concert at Hull University and the local support group sang their own song with the chorus line

"It was Saturday Morning in Beverley Market ain't you going my way
Saturday Morning on a Beverely Market day."

it began with a line that ended "It was a perfectly lovely day."

Well that damn tune still won't go away and I would love to have the words to sing it to and to give credit to the writer.

Any clues would be much appreciated.
