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

Ord: Adam Lay Ybounden

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!
