I assume that this is the same song listed as Rug Cutter's Swing for other artists, including Fletcher Henderson 1934 and Glenn Miller 1940.  The Red Allen listing is the only one which doesn't use the possessive form of the title.  I don't have any of the recordings of the song listed in Lord and would appreciate if someone could confirm that the Red Allen recording is the same tune as all the others.

I have the Allen version on Collector's Classics CD COCD-2, and it's the 
same tune as the Henderson version. The composer credit is given as 
"Henry Allen". The Henderson version on CD MCA GRP 16432 has the 
composer credit as "H. Henderson". My English Brunswick gives "Henderson".
