Della Blackman/pick And Choose by Pura Fe


Della Blackman married a white man

Who lived on the other side of town

Her husband had friends

That disapproved of the marriage

They wore white hoods

Saying Klu Klux Klan

 

Aunt Della was told

To forget about her ancestry

She denied her mama's blood was red as the land

If she would ever see her family or people

Della was warned to walk on by

 

You've got to pick and choose in this world

There's a right and wrong

You gotta know it in your heart

But when the time has come

Creator will do what is done

But until then you've got to pick and choose

One day a postcard came in the mail

A family picnic, she was invited to

Della was warned that she had better not go

Well, what do you think this woman did do?

 

Aunt Della remembered the strength of her family

Yeah, the singing, laughter, and mama's love she missed

Therefore she said, "I'll be damned if I don't! I'll go

Pack up my bags and see my folks!"

 

To get to the picknick, Della walked through the woods

She heard footsteps of the living dead

Aunt Della started to run, screaming to her family

But no one heard the final warning had come

A group of angry men violated Della and

Left her in the woods, hard to identify

When her family got the news,

They summoned all her people

In silence they carried her body home.

 

Chorus

 

Della Blackman, was buried with her people

Many who'd been taken down from the land

Everyday you'd see her husband standing by her grave,

As if he were the ghost and Della had been saved!

 

Chorus
