Tune 487 - Wednesday Night Polka

A tune a customer played when he picked his box up in my workshop, other than that I know nothing see update below the ABC. X:487 T:Wednesday Night Polka C:Dave Ingledew (arr L Bailey) M:4/4 K:G L:1/8 |:GA Bc d2 d2|e2 e2 d2 d2|c2 B2 A2 G2|B4 A4| GA Bc d2 d2|e2 e2 d2 d2|c2 A2 F2 A2|1G2 d2 d2 d2:|2 G4 G4|| |:E4 E4|c2 c2 B4|A2 G2 F2 G2|B4 A4| E4 E4|c2 c2 B4|A2 G2 F2 A2|1G4 G4:|2G2 d2 d2 d2|| Update: The composer of this tune Dave Ingledew has been in tough with the folowing info: I wrote it in 1979 when requested  to record a new signature tune for the BBC Radio Solent folk program. I  composed it on a Wednesday night, hence the title. He also added that As you will see ( from his attached pdf ) your source got the tune the wrong way round, t he A music is the B music and it has morphed quite a bit from my  original intention. I have attached Dave's original version below.
