Ord: Adam Lay Ybounden - Choir Of King's College, Cambridge, Simon Preston

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!
