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

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'ring

Where it's gonna stop

Houseboy knows that he's doin' alright

You should have 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 young girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen

I'm no schoolboy 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
