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
Ah brown sugar, just like a young girl should

Drums beating cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wondrin where its 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
Ah brown sugar, just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
Im no schoolboy but I know what I like
You should have heard them just around midnight
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
Ah brown sugar, just like a young girl should
