(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
