Jerry Jeff Walker - Charlie Dunn lyrics



Well if you're ever in Austin Texas

A little run down on your sole

I'm gonna tell you the name of an old man to see

I'm gonna tell you right where to go

He's working in Capitol Saddlery

He's sewing in the back of the place

His name is Charlie Dunn the little frail one

With the smile and the leathery face

[Chorus]

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

Charlie done the boots that are on my feet

It makes Charlie real pleased to see me walkin in these

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

Charlie's been makin boots over there

He says about fifty some odd years

And once you wear a pair of his hand-mades

Boy, you'll never wear no store-bought pair

Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet

Just by feelin' 'em with his hands

And he can take a look at the boots you wear

And know a whole lot about you, man

Chorus

[Bridge]

And ol' Buck's up front he's countin' up his gold

Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles

All the people comin' in smilin' at him

They all wonder how's ol' Charlie been

Buck's makin' change but he never ever sees no one

And he never understood a good thing ol' Charlie done

Charlie's never had his name on a sign

He don't put a mark in the boot

He just hopes you can remember him

'Bout the same way that he does you

He keeps your measurements in a little book

So you can order more boots later on

Well I'm writin' down ol' Charlie's size

I'm a makin' him up a song

Chorus

Buck's up front but he never ever sees no one

And he never understood a good thing ol' Charlie done
