Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright

Hear him with 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 wonderin' where it's gonna stop

House boy knows that he's doing alright

You should a heard him just around midnight



Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?

Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should



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

I'm no school boy but I know what I like

You should have heard me just around midnight



Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?

Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should



I said yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!

How come you... How come you taste so good?

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!

Just like a black girl should

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
