Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields |
|
Sold in the market down in New Orleans |
|
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right |
|
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 beatin' cold, English blood runs hot |
|
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop |
|
House boy knows that he's doin' all right |
|
You should have heard him just around midnight |
|
Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good |
|
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should |
|
--- Saxophone --- |
|
Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good |
|
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should |
|
I bet your mama was a tent show queen |
|
And all her girlfriends were sweet sixteen |
|
I'm no school boy but I know what I like |
|
You should have heard them just around midnight |
|
Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good |
|
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should |
|
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!! |
|
How come you, how come you dance so good |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!! |
|
Just like a, just like a black girl should |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!! |
