The Rolling Stones - Brown Sugar lyrics

Your rating:

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 

Brown sugar how come you taste so good 
Brown sugar just like a young girl should- ah hum oh..
Woo!

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 - yeah!

Ah, get it on brown sugar, how come you taste so good, babe? 
Ah, got me feelin` now for brown sugar, just like a black girl should yeah

Now I bet your mama was a tent show queen 
And all here 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, babe? 
Ah, brown sugar just like a young girl should, yeah 

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!
How come you...how come you taste so good? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo! 
Just like a...just like a black girl should 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, woo!

where is the first line of these lyrics?

seems the first line is missing... or am I missing something?

Brown Sugar starts, "Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields..."
