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

I’m 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
