Charlie Dunn - Jerry Jeff Walker

    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
