Billy Preston
Brown Sugar (Live 1975)
[Intro]
Woah!
Yeah, baby

[Verse 1]
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
Brown sugar, just like a young man should

[Verse 2]
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 'em just around midnight

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

[Saxophone Solo]
[Chorus]
Ah, get down on brown, brown sugar, how come you taste so good?
Ah, get down, get down brown sugar, just like a grown man should

[Verse 3]
Ah I bet your mama was a tent show queen
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
And 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?
Brown sugar, just like a young girl should, yeah

[Outro]
I said
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
How come you taste so good?
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)
Just like a grown man should
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Woo!)

[Audience Applause]
