Here’s a bit of a mystery.  This link https://youtu.be/gmMc7a3MLk4

takes you to a video where the performer, Phil Baker claims to have written the tune.

Percy Venable gets credit for the one Louis did, and Cliff Friend et. al. wrote this one:

Are they the same tune?  Baker’s is close from what  I hear.  Don’t know anyone with the sheet music linked above.   So, is it the same tune?
