Gold coast slave ship bound for cot-ton fields
Sold in a mar-ket down in New Or-leans
Scarred old sla-ver now he's do-in' al-right
Hear him whip the wom-an just a-round mid-night

- The drum's beat-ing cold Eng-lish blood runs hot
La-dy of the house wonder-in' where it's gon-na stop
House boy knows that he's do-in' al-right
You should have heard him just a-round mid-night
Brown Su-gar, How come you taste so good
