Charlie Dunn — текст песни (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
