Well...if you're ever in Austin, Texas, 
A little run down on your sole.
I'm going to tell you the name of a man to see,
I'm going to tell you right where to go.
He's working in Capital Saddlery. 
He's sewing in the back of the place.
He's old Charlie Dunn, the little frail one 
With the smilin' leathery face.

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see.
Charlie done 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.

Well...Charlie's been making boots over there,
he says about 50 some odd years.
Once you wear a pair of handmade boots,
you'll never wear a store-bought pair.
Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet, just a feelin' them with his hands.
He can take a look at the boots your wearin'
...and know a whole lot about the man.

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see.
Charlie done 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.

Yeah, old Charlie never had his name on the sign.
He never put a mark in a 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 some on Charlie's size, 
'cause I'm makin' him a song.

Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see.
Charlie done 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.

Now Buck's up front he's accountin' up his gold.
Charlie's in the back patchin' up a sole.
There are other people coming in smilin' at him,
...they all wonder how's old Charlie been.
Old Buck's a makin' change, he never sees no one.
He never understood the good things Charlie done.
