"Miller's Cave" lyrics

Miller's Cave

Way down in
The state of Georgia
In the swamps
And everglades
There's a big old hole
On the backside of Tiger Mountain
God, help the man
Who ever gets lost
In Miller's Cave

Well, I had me a gal
In Waycross, Georgia
Oh, but she had
Unfaithful ways
God, she made me feel
Feel like I was unwanted
Kinda like the bats and the bears
That hang around Miller's Cave

Well, I caught her out
Last Saturday evening
With some dude
Everybody call big Dave
Just the meanest man
Ever hit Waycross, Georgia
Rather fight me a big old mountain lion
In Miller's Cave

So I said, "You're gonna pay
Both you and little baby
Woman, I'm gonna see you
See you in your grave"
Well, they laughed at me
And, oh Lord, right before I shot them
Then I dragged their lying scheming bones
To Miller's Cave

Well, I couldn't stand
Stand the way she done me
So I guess I showed
Her I was brave
The most wanted man
To ever hit the state of Georgia
But they'll never find me
Because I'm lost
In Miller's Cave
