Once upon a time   When the cold wind that blows   When the cold wind that blows in my heart   It was a summer breeze and she   Would meet me in Chinatown for opium and tea   And she always brought me flowers   But I spared you those old ballads   Or songs that I couldn't play   But every giro day   She'd dress me like a lady boy   And take me out of the way   Don't let the horse chase the new deal away, no   If we make love in the morning   I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head       Lady don't you fall backwards   C'mon and fall into my arms   Aw, don't you fall backwards   Well, I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm   Now tell me, if darkness comes    Then I will sing you a song   And I will love you forever   At least 'til morning comes   Lady don't you fall backwards   Come on and fall into my arms   Come on and fall into my arms
