Gov't Mule - Brown Sugar Lyrics

Gov't Mule Lyrics

"Brown Sugar"
(originally by the Rolling Stones)

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in a market down in New Orleans
Skydog slaver knows he's doing alright
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a young girl should, 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 him just around midnight

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

Ah, brown sugar how come you taste so good, now?
Brown sugar just like a black girl should, now

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, now?
Brown sugar just like a black girl should, now

Brown sugar
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
