Lyrics

Way down in the state of Georgia
Amongst the swamps and the Everglades
There's a big ol' hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave
I had me a girl in Waycross, Georgia
But, she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel I was unwanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave
I caught her out Sunday mornin'
With some guy they call "Big Dave"
The meanest man in Waycross, Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
So, I said, "You're gonna pay, both you and Davy
'Cause I'm gonna see you in your grave"
And, they laughed at me and then I shot 'em
And then, I dragged their cheatin' skin and bones to Miller's Cave
I couldn't stand the way she did me
Well, I guess I showed her I was brave
The most wanted man in the state o' Georgia
They're never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave
