Harmonica-solo and/or

The road is long with many a winding turns

That leads us to who knows where, who knows where

But I'm strong strong enough to carry him

He ain't heavy he's my brother

So on we go his welfare is of my concern

No burden is he to bear, we'll get there

For I know he would not encumber me

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

If I'm laden at all

I'm laden with sadness

that everyone's heart

Isn't filled with the gladness

Of love for one another

It's a long, long road from which there is no return

While we're on the way to there, why not share

And the load Doesn't weigh me down at all

He ain't heavy, he's my brother

He's my brother

He ain't heavy he's my brother

He ain't heavy he's my brother ................etc
