Way down in the state of Georgia

Thru the swamps and everglades

There's a hole in Tiger Mountain

God help the man who gets lost in Miller's Cave.

I had a girl (had a girl)

in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) but she had unfaithful ways

Made me feel (made me feel) I was unwanted (so unwanted)

Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave.

I couldn't stand the way she did me

Couldn't take her low down ways

Before I'd stay with a cheatin' woman

I'll go live the bears in Miller's Cave.

I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday morning (Sunday morning)

With a man they call Big Dave

Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia)

I'd rather fight a Mountain Lion in Miller's Cave.

I said you'll pay, both you and Davey

I must see you in your grave

They laughed at me and then I shot 'em

I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave.

That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted)

But I showed 'em 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 cold, cave, Miller's Cave.
