Title variations are all with S at end, so the Red Allen listing by Lord is an unauthorized variation of the title.  That brings up the question of how the title is spelled on the original Red Allen 78 rpm and the reissues.

Collector's Classics show it in the non-possessive (singular) from, 
presumably taken from the 78.
