(Jack Clement)

Way down in the state of Georgia
Through 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 way
She made me feel I was unwanted
Like the birds and the bears in Miller's Cave.

I couldn't stand the way she did me
Couldn't take her lowdown ways
Before I'll stay with the cheatin' woman
I'll go and live with the bears in Miller's Cave.

Caught her out one Sunday morning
With some guy they call Big Dave
The meanest man in waycross Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave.

I said you'll pay both you and Davy
I'm a gonna 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 me feel unwanted
But I guess I showed her I was brave
The most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave...
