Lyrics:

(G. Stephens) [Recorded November 17, 1966, Hollywood] 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!
