Brown Sugar Live At University of Leeds / 1971 by The Rolling Stones Lyrics

[Intro]
We're going to do a new song for you now, which we hope you can all keep rocking to
Keep moving, keep movin' to this one

What are we going to do?

You're the rich ones, right? And they're the poor ones...

[Music starts]
Yeah, that's all right
How about this?
How about y'all shake 'em on down
Come on, now

[Verse 1]
Now gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Uh
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Now, 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 shoulda heard 'em just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good now?
Brown sugar, just like a young boy should , yeah

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Ah, get down, brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
The brown sugar
Just like a young girl should

[Verse 3]
Ah, I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no schoolboy, but I know what I like
You shoulda heard me just around midnight

[Chorus]
Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
The brown sugar
Just like a, just like a young girl should
[Outro]
Ahh, come on down
How come you, how come you taste so good?
Brown sugar
Just like, just like a young girl should
The brown sugar
How come you, how come, how come you taste so good?
Yeah
Yeh


That's all right, that's all right, that's all right, that's all right
Ah, get down on your knees, brown sugar
How come you, how come you taste so good?
Come on... sugar
Whoo! Whoohoo!
Yes, indeed
Yes, indeed, yes, indeed

We've had a good time tonight. We hope you've had a good time tonight, because we've had a good time
Are you having a good time?
