Brown Sugar -- Rolling Stones

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 with 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 wonderin' when it's 
gonna stop  House boy knows that he's doing alright  You shoulda heard him just
around midnight   Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now? 
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, now 
Ah, get along, brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby? 
Ah, got me feelin' now, 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 schoolboy but I know what I like  You shoulda heard me just around midnight 
Brown sugar how come you taste so good, baby brown sugar just like a young girl should 
I said yeah, yeah,  How come you...how come you taste so good? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah,  Just like a...just like a black girl should 

The lyrics are about slaves from Africa who were sold in New Orleans and raped by their white masters. The subject matter is quite serious, but the way the song is structured, it comes off as 
a fun rocker about a white guy having sex with a black girl.          (songfacts)
