(Dark old cave Miller's Cave)
Way down 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 way cross Georgia but she had unfaithful ways
Made me feel I was unwanted like the birds and the bears in Miller's Cave
(Miller's Miller's Miller's Miller's Cave)

I couldn't stand the way she did me couldn't take her lowdown ways
Before I'll stay with the cheating woman I'll go live with the bears in Miller's Cave
I caught her out one Sunday morning with the man they call Big Dave
Meanest man in way cross Georgia I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
(Miller's Miller's Miller's Miller's Cave)

I said you'll pay both you and Davy I must see you in your graves
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin' skin and bones in Miller's Cave
That woman made me feel unwanted but I showed her 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 old cave Miller's Cave)
