Champion Jack Dupree - You Can Make It If You Try

You can make it, you can make it, if you try
You gonna live, you gonna live, until you die.

It make no difference, what the people say
Go on and live your life your way.
'Cause you can make it, you can make it, if you try.

Sometime, you women have to cry, sometime you have to lie,
but don't give up, keep on going, no matter how you try.
You can make it, oh yes, you can make it,
you can make it darling, if you try
don't cry lord, don't give up, just keep on tryin'. If your mother, sisters or brothers, if they all turn their back on you,
don't stop now, keep on going, no matter what they do.

Now if the one you love, turn their backs on you,
don't go around and tell your friends what your lover do
just keep on going, no matter what they do.

Now if you're crippled, if dumb or lame,
you always say, I live just the same.
'Cause you can make it, you can make it, honey, if you try.
You can make it, you can make it, you can make it if you try
You gonna live, you gonna live, until you die.
