Brown Sugar
(Jagger/Richards 1971)


Gold coast slave ship 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.
Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good (A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should (A-huh).

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.
Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good (A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should (A-huh).

I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boy friends were sweet sixteen.
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like,
You should have heard me just around midnight.
Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good (A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like, just like a black girl should.
