And in the end/
The love you take/
Is equal to the love you make.

This is The Beatles’ Abby Road Medley consisting of: “Golden Slumbers”, “Carry That Weight”, and “The End”.   The lyrics of each individual song don’t really go together; it is pretty clear that The Beatles had three short songs and stuck them together and it sort of felt right.

And it does. In a short five minutes you get to experience all the different sounds of The Beatles, from their ballads to an anthem to a pensive ditty. In “The End”, you get to hear each of The Beatles with a solo, and this is also the last song they recorded together.

This song is a medley and you can’t listen to this as one song on on Spotify and other streaming platforms…which is how you experience it when you are listening to Abbey Road. Is there ever a time when you don’t want to hear all three at the same time? I suppose this is a first world problem.

Abbey Road Medley Lyrics

Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Golden slumbers
Fill your eyes
Smiles await you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Once there was a way
To get back homeward
Once there was a way
To get back home
Sleep, pretty darling
Do not cry
And I will sing a lullaby.

Carry That Weight Lyrics
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations
I break down
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you gotta carry that weight
You’re gonna carry that weight along time

The End Lyrics
Oh yeah, all right
Are you going to be in my dreams
Tonight?
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make
