Maid Of Athens - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
MAID OF ATHENS. 
Maid of Athens, ere we part, give, oh! give me back my heart; Or, since that has left my breast, keep it now And take the rest; Hear my vow before I go-my life, my life, I love thee! 
By those tresses unconfined, wooed by each Aegean wind; By those lids, whose jetty fringe kiss thy soft cheek's blooming tinge; By those wild eyes, like the rose, my life, my life, I love thee! 
Maid of Athens, I am gone-think of me, sweet, when alone; Though I fly to Istamboul, Athens holds my heart and soul. Can I cease to love thee? Not my life, my life, I love thee!
