Sometimes misunderstood as a putdown, this is a rare Stones song that treats women as equals. Jagger sings that he "Don't need no beast of burden."
Ron Wood: "That's another one that just came very naturally in the studio. And I slipped into my part and Keith had his going. It may have appeared as though it was planned. We can pick it up today and it will just naturally slip into the groove again with the guitars weaving in a special way. It's quite amazing really. Ever since Keith and I first started to trade licks, it was a very natural thing that, for some unknown reason, if he's playing up high, I'm down low and the other way around. We cross over very naturally. We call it an ancient form of weaving-- which we still are impressed by it to this day. Unexplainable, wonderful things happen with the guitar weaving. There's no plan." (thanks, bertrand - Paris, France)
This isn't about a specific woman. Most women in Stones' songs are composites of many.
A live version from their 1981 US tour was used as the B-side of their "Going To A Go-Go" single.
A beast of burden is an animal that labors for the benefit of man, like an ox or a pack mule.
Keith Richards wrote this, but a lot of the lyrics were improvised in the studio. While the band played, Jagger came in with different lines to fit the music. As a result, some of the lyrics are less than meaningful and a little repetitious.
This song could be allegorical - it was written by Keith as a kind of homage to Mick for having to carry the band while Keith was strung out on heroin: "All your sickness I can suck it up, throw it all at me, I can shrug it off." (thanks, Eric - London, England)
Bette Midler covered this in 1983. Jagger appeared in the video.
The Chinese ministry of culture ordered The Stones not to play this when they performed there in 2003. It was going to be the first time The Stones played in China, but they canceled because of a respiratory disease that was spreading through the country.

Beast Of Burden by The Rolling Stones
Album: Some Girls
Date: 1978

Stone is an old market town in Staffordshire, England, situated about seven miles north of Stafford, and around seven miles south of the city of Stoke-on-Trent. It is the second town, after Stafford itself, in the Borough of Stafford, and has long been of importance from the point of view of communications. Stone gave its name to both an urban district council and a rural district council before becoming part of the borough in 1974.

Stone was the capital of early Mercia, a powerful Anglian kingdom that later expanded over most of what is now the West Midlands. Christianity arrived via monks from Lindisfarne around the year 650, King Penda of Mercia having invited them in. The capital was later moved to Stafford, and then to Tamworth

Hi Quizzler,

Have you thought that we may not know the answer for days, if it is one of those "fillie in the answers on the page and we'll let you know thingies"! lol

I am here for a little longer but I think my brain cell is turning to mush.
