"estelle, i was your husband  third in a group of three  you twice the widowed  and i once did see  a wedding bed like no other  for it's turned to a funeral grave  truth is temperance, happiness warns  signposts on the road that is paved     chorus:     when the decent folks dance a two step revival  denial and deviation, temptation and trial  estelle, oh estelle, what you loved you gave away  jesus says we die a little death for him everyday     dot turned tricks with the spoons  played piano with the other hand  you the kid who liked life so much  look up, it's your wedding band  the minister spoke, the vows we took  at that moment you were mine  a falling took place afterward  an explanation would take more time    chorus    estelle, i took you home that night  my wife above the common-law  laid it up like we always do  in the hammock of our backyard  swinging like a rocking horse  cannonballing down a track  we both found heaven right then  you just chose not to come back    chorus  "
