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
