Rolling Stones Brown Sugar Lyrics

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 wondrin 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.

Im 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.
