Way down in the state of Georgia
Through the swamps and the everglades
There’s a big 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
She made me feel like I wasn’t wanted
Like the bats and the bears in Miller’s Cave.

I caught her out one Sunday morning
With a man they call big Dave
He’s the meanest man in the state of Georgia
I’d rather fight a mountain lion in Miller’s Cave.

I said you’ll pay both you and David
I’m 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.

Well, that woman made me feel unwanted
But I showed her I was brave
Most wanted man in the state of Georgia
They’ll never find me ’cause I’m lost in Miller’s Cave.
