There's a story this is probably based on... of a little girl carrying her brother. Both of them looking malnourished and poor, some old people see them and ask the girl: "Isn't he heavy?" and she, maybe in her innocence or in a burst of love and genius, replies: "No, mister... he's not heavy... he's my brother..."

In the 1940s, the words, adapted as "He ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother", were taken as a slogan for Boys Town children's home by founder Father Edward Flanagan.[3] According to the Boys Town website, the phrase as used by Boys Town was said to Fr. Flanagan in 1918 by one of the residents while carrying another up a set of stairs. The boy being carried is said to have had polio and worn leg braces.[4]
