Identifying this as the Cole Porter song and not the Dempsey/Mitchel song is based solely on discogs information. I believe discogs is wrong and that this is the Dempsey/Mitchell tune. I have not found a clip that verifies this, but:

Jim McHarg is/was a member of the "Clyde Valley Stompers."

The Clyde Valley Stompers appeared with Lonnie Donegan on the latter's 1958 album Lonnie Rides Again, which includes a performance of the Mitchell/Dempsey song "Ace in the Hole."
