Composer(s): Jack Clement
Originally performed by: Hank Snow
Covered by various other artists



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 ways
She made me feel I wasn't wanted
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'll stay with a cheatin' woman
I'll go and live with the bears in Miller's Cave

Caught her out, 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 Davey
"I'm gonna see you in your grave"
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheating, scheming 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're never gonna find me `cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave
