Brown Sugar lyrics

(Duet with Ryan Adams / Rolling Stones Cover)

Gold Coast slaveship 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, how come you taste so good
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should

Drums beating, cold English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wond`rin where it`s gonna stop
House boy knows that he`s doin` alright
You should a heard him just around midnight

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

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good
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 school boy but I know what I like
You should have heard me just around midnight

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

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said oh
