Lyrics:

Adam lay ybounden
Bounden in a bond
Foure thousand witer
Thought he not too long.
And all was for an apple
An apple that he tok
As clerkes finden
Wreten in here book.
Never had the apple
The apple taken ben
Ne hadde never our lady
A ben Hevene Quen.
Blessed be the time
The apple taken was
Therefore we moun singen
Deo gracias
