Once was at the Holloway studio to hear Mike Berry's 'Tribute' song for Holly, circa 1960. Anyone else recall this?

For the benefit of the uninitiated, this is a "rocked-up" version of the old folk song "Early one morning". It was commonplace particularly in the 60s to record versions of tunes that are in the public domain thereby avoiding having to pay royalties to the composer. Record producer Joe Meek is a good example of this and his catalogue is littered with examples. e.g. "Greensleeves" became "Green Jeans", "Phil the Fluters Ball became "PFB" and "Camptown Races became "Do dah day".

EARLY ONE MORNING

JUST AS THE SUN WAS SHINNING

I HEARD A FAIR MAID CALLING

FROM THE VALLEY BELOW

This sounds just like the song from Pollyanna! It was when the orphan Pollyanna and Nancy, her auntie's maid, were walking down the street together carrying the basket of goods and singing in staggeringly high-pitched voices like hungry kittens! It was the 1960 version featuring Hayley Mills.
