Edit 1b for headphones, February 2018. "Top of the Pops" 1971 on UK TV. The official video is missing the first chord of the opening guitar riff, and that's just plain stupid. I added it in this edit. For that first chord is what makes the riff the riff... yes, I made this one just for that first half of a second. I apologize for not being able to cut that dreadful sax'oh''oh'phone, it is something we have to live with... (it would sort of harm the video).
BROWN SUGAR
(Jagger/Richards)
gold coast slave you're bound for cotton fields
sold in the market down in New Orleans
scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right
hear him whip the women just around midnight
brown sugar, how come you taste so good
brown sugar, just like a young girl should, now yeah
drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
lady of the house wonderin' where it's gonna stop
house boy knows that he's doin' all right
you should have heard him just around midnight
brown sugar, how come you taste so good
mmm, brown sugar, just like a young girl should
(cover your ears, the ugly sax now enters)
ahhh get down on your knees brown sugar, how come you dance so good
ahhh get down on the ground brown sugar, just like a young girl should
now I bet your mama was a p'tential queen,
and all her girlfriends 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
ahhh get down brown sugar, just like a young girl should
ahhh get down, get down brown sugar, how come ya, how come ya
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo
how come you, how come you dance so good
yeah, yeah, yeah
just like a, just like a young girl should
ahhh get down, get down, get down child
get down on your knees (...)
