Beast of Burden

An animal, such as a donkey, ox, or elephant, used for transporting loads or doing other heavy work.
 
A "beast of burden" is a semi-domesticated animal that labors for the benefit of man, such as oxen or horses. The song, written by Keith Richards, talks of a man pleading for the affections of a girl (though it is claimed that the song could be allegorical in that Richards wrote it after his long fight with addiction, much of the time leaving the band to be led by Mick Jagger alone).
 
Although written before entering the studio (recording on the Some Girls sessions ran from late 1977 through early 1978), many of the lyrics were improvised by Jagger to fit with the smooth running guitars of Richards and Woods. Note the rolling, fluid licks traded off by the two. Neither is really playing lead or rhythm; they both slip in and out, one playing high while the other is low.
 
The song, written by Keith Richards, talks about his relationship with Anita Pallenberg
