Brown Sugar (The Rolling Stones, 1971)
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 whip the women just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should
Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wondering when it’s gonna stop
House boy knows that he’s doing alright
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 taste so good?
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 schoolboy but I know what I like
You should have heard me just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should
How come you taste so good?
Just like a black girl should
