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

Deo gracias

Gracias
