Artist/Band: Jerry Jeff Walker
Lyrics for Song: Charlie Dunn
Lyrics for Album: Live From Dixie's Bar & Bus Stop [2012]



Well, if you're ever in Austin, Texas

A little run down on your sole

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

I'm gonna tell you right where to go

He's working in Capitol Saddlery

And he's sewing in the back of the place

He's old Charlie Dunn, the little frail one

with the smilin' 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' with ease

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see



Charlie's been make boots over there

He says, about fifty some-odd years

And once you wear a pair of his hand-made boots

you know you'll never wear a store-bought pair

Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet

Just by feeling them with his hand

And he can take a look at the boots you wear

And know a whole lot about you, man



(Chorus)



[Bridge]

Now, ol' Buck's up front, he's countin' his gold

Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles

of the people comin' in, smilin' at him

They all wonder how's ol' Charlie been

And ol' Buck's makin' change, he never sees no one

He never understood the good thing that Charlie done



Yeah, ol' Charlie never had his name on the sign

He never put a mark in his boots

He just hopes that you can remember him

The same way that he does you

He keeps your measurements in this little book

So you can order more boots later on

Well I'm writin' down some of Ol' Charlie's size

'Cause I'm makin' him up this song



(Chorus)



Yeah, ol' Buck's makin' change, he never sees no one

And He never understood the good thing that Charlie done
