One of Giddens' several songs that deals with the legacy of slavery is "At The Purchasers' Option." I saw her perform it at IBMA in 2018 with a short-lived supergroup called The First Ladies of Bluegrass, where they did a very beautiful round on the chorus to end the song. Very powerful. She explained at the set (and it may well be the image from the music video below) that she was inspired to write the song after coming across newspaper adds advertizing the sale of enslaved families, which could be kept together "At the purchasers' option."

At the Purchaser's Option
(Rhiannon Giddens)

I've got a babe, but shall I keep him?
'Twill come the day when I'll be weepin'
But how can I love him any less?
This little babe upon my breast

CHORUS
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul
You can take my body
You can take my bones
You can take my blood
But not my soul

I've got a body, dark and strong
I was young but not for long
You took me to bed a little girl
Left me in a woman's world

CHORUS

Day by day, I work the line
Every minute overtime
Fingers nimble, fingers quick
My fingers bleed to make you rich

CHORUS (x2)

I've got a babe, but shall I keep him?
