Dear Joan,

Yup, that is the correct Ace In The Hole. But now I'm looking for the 2nd verse and chorus which I think was never published.  

Best,

--Bob

And from Bobby Darin:

Now this town is full of guys Who think they're mighty wise Just because they know a thing or two 
You can see them everyday Strolling up and down Broadway Telling of the wonders they can do 
Well, there's conmen and there's boosters Card sharks and crap shooters They congregate around the Metropole 
They wear fancy ties and collars But where they get their dollars While they all got an ace in the hole 
Some of them write to the old folks for coin Well, that's their old ace in the hole Others have gals on the old Tenderloin Well, that's their old ace in the hole 
They'll tell you all the trips That they are going to take From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole 
Now their names would be mud Like a old chump playing stud If they lost that old ace in the hole 
Now some of them write to the old folks for coin And lets their old ace in the hole And others well, they have gals on the old Tenderloin And that's their old ace in the hole 
Well, they'll tell you all the trips That they are going to take From 'Frisco up to that old North Pole 
Now their names would be mud Like a chump playing stud If they lost that old ace in the hole If they lost that old ace in the hole
