Oooh, Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down

You stood and you watched as my baby left town

You coulda done somethin', hey,  you didn't try

You didn't do nothin', you just let her walk by

 

Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl

She wouldn't have gone far away if only you'd started ringin' your bell

 

Winchester Cathedral, you're bringin' me down

You stood and you watched as my baby left town

 

Hey, Winchester Cathedral, you are bringin' me down

You stood and you watched as, you watched her go by, my baby left town

You coulda done somethin', but you didn't even try

You didn't do nothin', you didn't ding-dong, you let her get by

 

Now everyone knows just how much I needed that girl

        She wouldn't have gone far away, if only you'd started ringin' your bell

 

Now, Winchester Cathedral, man, you've brought me down

You just stood there and watched as   my baby left town!
