My syncopated melody man
(Eddie Cox/ Blanche Merril) 1916
My syncopated man
Plays the blues like no one can
When he sits down at that piano
When he starts in a place
New song right in the sway
You’ll be listening, you’ll be listening
And you’re going to start to whistle it
He’s got a way that’s all his own
Probably the best musician ever known
You never heard that syncopation
Had a roots key he don’t shine
Besides the devil loving man of mine
His music, much as they hate him
They just can’t appreciate him
That’s why I called him my syncopated man
