Thanks. Those were sure great days for music, weren’t they? The VietmNam war protests hadn’t gotten going yet.

These days the term “Pacemaker” means something entirely different to the generation that loved this music. Shocking I tell you.

Trini Lopez did a faster version. It was good too.

Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying--Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five (1946)

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done daddy dirty
He sure don't want you no more

Don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Daddy's done turned salty
And baby, you made him so sore

You can cry, cry, cry
Yes baby, you can wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door
You done your daddy dirty
He just don't want you no more

When the moon goes down in the dawn
And the sun comes up in the morning
Don't let the sun catch you crying,
Cause daddy don't want you no more

[Fiji Hill]

I figured “pacemaker” referred to a car used to set the pace at auto races.
