Miller's Cave
Bobby Bare · 16 Biggest Hits [RCA Nashville/Legacy] [2007]
Way down in the state of Georgia
Among the swamps and the everglades
There's a big hole in Tiger Mountain
God help the men who gets lost in Miller's Cave.
I had a girl in Way Cross, Georgia
But she had unfaithful ways
She made me feel I was unwanted
Like the birds and the bears in Miller's Cave.
I caught her out Sunday morning
With some guy they call Big Dave
The meanest man in Way Cross, Georgia
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave.
So I said, "You're gonna pay, both you and Davy.
"'Cause I'm gonna see you in your grave."
They laughed at me and then I shot 'em
And then I dragged their cheatin' skin and bones into Miller's Cave.
I couldn't stand the way she did me
'Cause I guess I showed her I was brave
The most wanted man in the state of Georgia
But they'll never gonna find me 'cause I'm lost in Miller's Cave...
