Miller's Cave

Louis Armstrong · Country & Western [2000]

Way down in the state of Georgia,

Through the swamps and the everglades.

There's a big ol' 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 wasn't wanted,

Like the bats and the bears in Miller's Cave.



I couldn't stand the way she did me.

Couldn't take her low down ways.

Before I'll stay with a cheatin' woman,

I'll go and live with the bears in Miller's Cave.



Caught her out, Sunday morning,

With some guy they call big Dave.

The meanest man in Waycross, Georgia,

I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave.



I said: "You'll pay both you and Davey,

"I'm gonna see you in your grave."

They laughed at me and then I shot 'em,

I took their cheating, scheming bones to Miller's Cave.



That woman made me feel unwanted,

But I guess I showed her I was brave.

The most wanted man in the state of Georgia,

But they're never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave.
