OPENER: CIRCLE LEFT:
The road is long - with many a winding turn
LEFT ALLEMANDE - DO SA DO
ALLEMANDE that Corner - and you WEAVE
But I'm strong - Strong enough to carry him
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
FIGURE: HEADS SQUARE THRU - DO SA DO one time
SWING THRU and then – SPIN your TOP
RIGHT AND LEFT THRU and turn the girl – SQUARE THRU THREE now
SWING and you PROMENADE around the ring
No - He ain't heavy - he's my brother
MIDDLE BREAK: CIRCLE LEFT:
So on we go - his welfare is my concern
LEFT ALLEMANDE - DO SA DO
ALLEMANDE that Corner - and you WEAVE
And I know - he would not encumber me
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
CLOSER: CIRCLE LEFT:
It's a long, long road - from which there is no return
LEFT ALLEMANDE - DO SA DO
ALLEMANDE that Corner - and you WEAVE
And the load – it doesn't weigh me down - at all
He ain't heavy - he's my brother
TAG:
He's my brother, yes – he's my brother
Original Lyrics:
The road is long, with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows when
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 ain't heavy, he's my brother
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
