Charlie Dunn

(专辑： Jerry Jeff - 2022)

If you're ever in Austin, Texas
A little run down on your sole
I'm 'a tell you the name of a man to see
I'ma tell you right where to go
He's working in Capitol Saddlery
And he's sewing in the back of the place
His name is Charlie Dunn, the little frail one
With the smiling leathery face

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 walking with ease
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

Now, Charlie's been make boots over there
He says, fifty some-odd years
And once you wear a pair of his hand-made boots
You know you'll never touch a store-bought pair
Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet
Just by feeling them with his hands
And he can take a look at the boots you wear
And know a whole lot about you, man

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 walking with ease
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

Now, ol' Buck's up front, counting up his gold
Charlie's in the back patching up the soles
Of the people coming in, smiling at him
They all wanna how Charlie's been
Buck is making change, he never sees no one
And he never understood the good thing Charlie done

Now, Charlie never had his name on the sign
He done put a mark in his boots
He just hopes that you remember him
The same way that he does you
He keeps your measurements in this little book he's got
So you can order more boots later on
Yeah, I must've taken down of Ol' Charlie's size
'Cause I'm making him up this song

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 walking with ease
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

Buck's making change, he never sees no one
And he never understood the good thing that Charlie done
