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
I couldn't stand the way she did me
Couldn't take her lowdown ways
Before I'll stay with the cheatin' woman
I'll go live with the bears in Miller's Cave
(Dark old 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
I said, ‽You'll pay both you and Davy
I'm gonna see you in your gravesâ€Â
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
I took their cheatin' skin and bones in Miller's Cave
(Dark old 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
