He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother (Live at The Bitter End, New York City, 1971) Lyrics
[Intro]
A concept that we all should have
Written very beautifully by Bobby Russell and Bobby Scott
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"
[Verse 1]
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
[Chorus]
But I am strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Verse 2]
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
[Chorus]
For I know he will not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Bridge]
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Is not filled with gladness
And love, and love, and love for one another
A concept that we all should have
Written very beautifully by Bobby Russell and Bobby Scott
"He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother"
[Verse 1]
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where
[Chorus]
But I am strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Verse 2]
So on we go
His welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear
We'll get there
[Chorus]
For I know he will not encumber me
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Bridge]
If I'm laden at all
I'm laden with sadness
That everyone's heart
Is not filled with gladness
And love, and love, and love for one another
[Verse 3]
I said it's a long, yes, it is
I said it's a long
Long, long, yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Said it's a long, hard road, mhm
From which there is no return
But while we're on the way to there
Why not share?
[Chorus]
And the load doesn't weigh
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Outro]
He is my brother
He ain't heavy, no, no, yeah
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He, he is my brother, mhm
He ain't heavy
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Thank you
Thank you very much
This time we'd like to do a little tune that was written by John Lennon
Here's our rendition of "Jealous Guy"
I said it's a long, yes, it is
I said it's a long
Long, long, yeah, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah
Said it's a long, hard road, mhm
From which there is no return
But while we're on the way to there
Why not share?
[Chorus]
And the load doesn't weigh
Doesn't weigh me down at all
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
[Outro]
He is my brother
He ain't heavy, no, no, yeah
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
He, he is my brother, mhm
He ain't heavy
He ain't heavy, he's my brother
Thank you
Thank you very much
