[Verse 1]
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
He's old 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' with ease
Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see

[Verse 2]
Charlie's been makin' boots over there
He says about fifty some odd years
And once you wear a pair of his handmade boots
You know, you'll never wear a 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]
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

[Bridge]
Now ol' Buck's up front, 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
Ol' Buck's makin' change, he never ever sees no one
He never understood the good thing Charlie done

[Verse 3]
Yeah, Ol' Charlie's never had his name on a sign
He never put a mark in the boot
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 ol' Charlie's size
'Cause I'm a makin' him up a song

[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
[Outro]
Yeah, ol' Buck's makin' change, he never ever sees no one
And he never understood a good thing Charlie done
