Brown Sugar

The Rolling Stones


(Intro)

Gold coast slave ship bound for Cotton Fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown Sugar how come you taste so good
(A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
A-huh

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wond'rin where it's 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
(A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should
A-huh

I bet your mama was a Tent Show queen
And all her girlfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown Sugar how come you taste so good
(A-ha)
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should
A-huh

(Repeat)
I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said oh
Just like a black girl should

(Repeat 4 times)
I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said oh
