(Instrumental)

 

Chorus:

Winchester Cathedral,  you're bringing me down,
You stood and you watched as,  my baby left town.
You could have done something,  but you didn't try.
You didn't do nothing,  You let her walk by.

Now ev'ryone knows just how much I needed that girl,
She wouldn't have gone far away,  If only you'd started ringing the bell.
Winchester Cathedral,  you're bringing me down,
You stood and you watched as,  my baby left town.

 

Ending:

(Instrumental)
