All for an Apple
Adam lay ybounden
All bounden in his bonds
Four thousand years he laboured
In penance for his wrongs
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
In Eden 'twas perfection
Obedience, humility
But Adam to the world was cast
Because of God's forbidden tree
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
While Adam lay ybounden
His lineage was styled
From Noah and from Abraham
To David and a virgin's child
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
Angelus ad virginem,
Subintrans in conclave,
Virginis formidinem
Demulcens, inquit "Ave!
Ave, regina virginum:
Coeli terraeque dominum
Concipies et paries intacta
Salutem hominum;
Tu porta coeli facta,
Medela criminum."
Angelus ad virginem,
Subintrans in conclave,
Virginis formidinem
Demulcens, inquit "Ave!
But if Adam and the apple
Had not together been
Then never would have Mary
Become our Heavenly Queen
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
So bless the chains of Adam
He took for all the Earth
In sacrifice he bought for us
This wondrous day of royal birth
All for an apple that he took
So it says, so it says
So it says in our holy book
All bounden in his bonds
Four thousand years he laboured
In penance for his wrongs
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
In Eden 'twas perfection
Obedience, humility
But Adam to the world was cast
Because of God's forbidden tree
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
While Adam lay ybounden
His lineage was styled
From Noah and from Abraham
To David and a virgin's child
All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
Angelus ad virginem,
Subintrans in conclave,
Virginis formidinem
Demulcens, inquit "Ave!
Ave, regina virginum:
Coeli terraeque dominum
Concipies et paries intacta
Salutem hominum;
Tu porta coeli facta,
Medela criminum."
Angelus ad virginem,
Subintrans in conclave,

Demulcens, inquit "Ave!
But if Adam and the apple

All for an apple that he took
So it says in our holy book
So bless the chains of Adam

In sacrifice he bought for us
This wondrous day of royal birth
All for an apple that he took
So it says, so it says
So it says in our holy book
