Coastal 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
Brown sugar girl how come you taste so good
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Drums beating cold English blood runs hot
Lady in the market tell the wind its gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin alright
Man You should a heard him just around midnight
Brown sugar how come you taste so good
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

I bet your mama was a tent show queen
 And all her boy friends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy but I'm doin alright
You should have heard me just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good
Brown sugar just like a young girl should

Said yeah yeah yeah oh
I said yeah yeah yeah oh
I said yeah yeah yeah oh
How come you taste so good
How come you taste so good
How come you taste so good
