Choir of king's college, cambridge - Adam lay ybounden lyrics

Adam lay ybounden Bounden in a bond Four thousand winters Though he not too long And all was for an apple An apple that he took As clerkes finden written in their book Nay had the apple taken been The apple taken been Nay had never our lady Abeen heavenly queen Blessed be the time That apple taken was Therefore we bound singen Deo gracias, deo gracias!
