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
 
  
  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 wonderin' where it's gonna stop
 
 House boy knows that he's doing alright
 
 You should a heard him just around midnight
  
 
 Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
 
 Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should
  
 
 I bet your mama was a tent show queen
 
 And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
 
 I'm no school boy but I know what I like
 
 You should have heard me just around midnight
  
 
 Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good?
 
 Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should
  
 
 I said yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
 
 How come you taste so good?
 
 I said yeah, yeah, yeah, well
 
 Just like a black girl should
 
 I said yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo!
