Recorded first by the Everly Borthers and then later released as a single by The Hollies:
---------------------------------------
Intro:
The road is long,with many a winding turn,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 my concern, no burden is he,
to bear, we'll get there, for i know, he would not encumber me, he aint heavy,
he's my brother,
If i'm leaning at all, i'm leaning with sadness, that everyone's heart,
Em/D isn't filled, with the gladness, of love, for one another.
I'ts 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.
