Wanda was alone at night while he was somewhere servin' A Navy wife with too much spare time on her hands His letters were a comfort and I think she really loved him But paper words don't fill the space when someone needs a man. And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time. Wanda gave me everything a body ever needed But a body's needs will sometimes lead a soul to sin She was only lonesome a wife on leave of duty She went down in history and probably will again. And I'd just like to sing a special song for Wanda Cause Wanda was a special friend of mine And somewhere makin' up his bed in Newport News Virginia I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time. I hope Wanda hears my song and plays it one more time...
