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
Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should
I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen, And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I´m no school boy but I know what I like You should have heard them just around midnight
