Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Dark old cave, Miller's cave)
[Verse 2]
Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and everglades
There's a hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the man who gets lost in Miller's cave
[Verse 3]
I had a girl in Waycross, Georgia (Had a girl, Waycross, Georgia)
But she had unfaithful ways
Made me feel I was unwanted (Made me feel, so unwanted)
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's cave
(Miller's, Miller's, Miller's, Miller's cave)
[Verse 4]
I couldn't stand the way she did me
Couldn't take her lowdown ways
Before I'll stay with a cheating woman
I'll go live with the bears in Miller's cave
[Verse 5]
I caught her out one Sunday morning (Caught her out, Sunday morning)
With the man they call Big Dave
Meanest man in Waycross, Georgia (Meanest man, Waycross, Georgia)
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's cave
(Miller's, Miller's, Miller's, Miller's cave)
[Verse 6]
I said you'll pay both you and the Davy
I must see you in your graves
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's cave
[Verse 7]
That woman made me feel unwanted (Woman made, so unwanted)
But I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's cave
(Dark old cave, Miller's cave)
