'Little' Milton Campbell had been a respected blues singer and guitarist
for years before turning to more soul-oriented material in the early 60's;
this was his most successful (#25, 5/65) of several R&B singles.  He has
long since returned to the blues, and is still active as a performer in
that style.

	But we're gonna make it, I know we will
	               (G)

	And if a job is hard to find
	                Bm                   Em
	And we have to stand in the welfare line
	               C                         D
	I've got your love and you know you got mine

	So we're gonna make it, I know we will

Verse 2:

	We may not have a home to call our own
	But we're gonna make it, I know we will
	We may have to fight hardships alone
	But we're gonna make it, I know we will

	We can't stay down all the time
	I've got your love and you know you got mine
	So we're gonna make it, I know we will

Verse 3:

	Our car may be old, our two rooms cold
	But we're gonna make it, I know we will
	We may not can spare a roach a crumb
	But we're gonna make it, I know we will
	And if I have to carry 'round a sign
	Sayin' "Help the deaf, the dumb, and the blind"
	I got your love and you know you got mine
	So we're gonna make it, I know we will

	(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
	It might seem hard sometime
	  G                    Em
	(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
	But don't worry, darlin' baby
	  G                    Em
	(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it)
	We're gonna keep on tryin'
	  G                    Em
	(We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it) [fade]
