Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar 





Gold Coast slaveship bound for cotton fields 

Sold in a market down in New Orleans 

Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright 

Hear him whip the women just around midnight 



Brown sugar, how come you taste so good 

Brown sugar, just like a young girl should 



Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot 

Lady of the house wond'rin where it's gonna stop 

House boy knows that he's doin' alright 

You should a heard him just around midnight 



Brown sugar, how come you taste so good 

Brown sugar, just like a young girl should 



Brown sugar, how come you taste so good 

Brown sugar, just like a black girl should 



I bet your mama was a Tent Show queen 

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen 

I'm no school boy but I know what I like 

You should have heard me just around midnight 



Brown sugar, how come you taste so good 

Brown sugar, just like a young girl should 



I said yeah, yeah, yeah, oh 

How come you taste so good 

Just like a black girl should
