Lyrics:
Adam lay y bounden, bounden in a bond,
ɑːdɑːm laɪ ə-buːndən, buːndən ɪn ə bɔnd,
Four thousands winters thought he not too long
Fuːr θuːsənd wɪntər θɔːt heː nɔt toː lɔng,
And all was for an apple, An apple that he took.
ɑːnd ɑːl was for an ɑːppəl, ɑːn ɑːppəl θɑːt heː toːk.
As clerkës finder written in their book.
ɑːs clerkəs fiːndən wrɪtən in hIr boːk.
Ne had the apple taken been, The apple taken been,
Nɛ hɑːd θə ɑːppəl tɑːkən beːn, θə ɑːppəl tɑːkən beːn,
Ne had never Our Lady, A-been heaven’s queen
Nɛ hɑːd nɛvər uːr lɑːdiː, ə beːn hɛvənə queːn.
Blessed be the time that apple taken was!
Blɛssəd beː θə tiːmə θæt ɑːppəl tɑːkən wɑːs!
Therefore we may singen Deo gratias!
θɛrfor weː muːn sɪngən De:oː grɑːsiɑːs!
