MILLER'S CAVE     (J.Clement)


Way down south 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

I had a girl in Waycross, Georgia
But she had unfaithful ways
You know she made me feel unwanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave

I caught her out one Sunday morning
With a man they called Big Dave
Meanest man in Waycross, Georgia
Rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave

I called her down both her and David
Said I'm gonna see you in your grave
They laughed at me until I shot 'em
Took their cheating scheming bones in Miller's Cave

You know she made me feel unwanted
But I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the State of Georgia
They'll never fine me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave.

MILLER'S CAVE     (J.Clement)


Way down in the state of Georgia
Amongst the swamps and the Everglades
There's a big old 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 was unwanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave

Lord, I caught her out one Sunday morning
With a guy they called Big Dave
He's the meanest man in Waycross, Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave

So I said: you're gonna pay, both you and David
Cause I'm gonna see you in your grave
They laughed at me, and then I shot 'em
Then I dragged their cheatin' schemin' bones to Miller's Cave

Well I couldn't stand the way she did me
Well I guess I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the State of Georgia
They're never gonna fine me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave.
