ADAM LAY YBOUNDEN

LYRICS

Adam lay ybounden 
Bounden in a bond; 
Four thousand winter, 
Thought he not too long.
And all was for an apple 
An apple that he took. 
As clerkes finden, 
Written in their book.
Ne had the apple taken been 
The apple taken been, 
Ne had never our ladie, 
Abeen heav’ne queen.
Blessed be the time 
That apple taken was, 
Therefore we moun singen. 
Deo gracias!
