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
Brown Su-gar,
How come you taste so good
- Brown Su-gar,
Just like a young girl should
- 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
- Brown Su-gar,
Just like a young girl should
- INSTRUMENTAL BREAK-

Brown Su-gar,
How come you taste so good
- Brown Su-gar,
Just like a black girl should
- I'll bet your Ma-ma was
a Tent Show Queen
And all her boy-friends
were sweet six-teen
I'm no school-boy
but I know what I like
You should of heard me
just a-round mid-night
Brown Su-gar,
How come you taste so good
- Brown Su-gar,
Just like a young girl should
- I say yeah, yeah, yeah, woah
How come you,
How come you taste so good
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, woah
Just like a,
Just like a bad girl should
I say yeah, yeah, yeah, woah
