Trouble at Midnight (Singer: Roy Brown)

Well, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble's got me down
I come home at midnight
And my baby can't be found

Every night at midnight
When my day's work is through
I come home looking for my baby
She's gone out with somebody new

I tried hard to make a living
Tried so hard to satisfy
I tried hard to make a living
So hard to satisfy

You brought me nothing but trouble
Oh, trouble makes me cry

Oh, hard work ain't gonna kill me
Or drive me out of my mind
From now on pretty baby
You go your way and I'll go mine

Trouble at midnight
I've had all I can stand
I'll find another woman
Baby, you find another man

Now it's over, glad so glad to see you go
Now it's over I'm so glad to see you go
Oh, trouble, trouble at midnight
Won't worry me no more

Wikipedia states:

Roy James Brown (September 10, 1920 or 1925 – May 25, 1981) was an American R&B singer, songwriter and musician, who had a significant influence on the early development of rock and roll and the direction of R&B. His original song and hit recording "Good Rockin' Tonight" has been covered by many artists including Wynonie Harris, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Joe Ely, Ricky Nelson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Pat Boone, James Brown, the Doors, and the rock group Montrose. Brown was one of the first popular R&B singers to perform songs with a gospel-steeped delivery, which was then considered taboo by many churches. In addition, his melismatic, pleading vocal style influenced notable artists such as B.B. King, Bobby Bland, Elvis Presley, Jackie Wilson, James Brown and Little Richard.
