Story behind the song
This is an old old song written by Jack Clement. I first heard it done by Gram Parsons.
Lyrics
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 (had a girl) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia)
But she had unfaithful ways
Made me feel (made me feel) I was unwanted (so unwanted)
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 live with the bears in Miller's Cave
(Dark old, dark old cave, dark old cave)
I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday mornin' (Sunday mornin')
With a man they called Big Dave
Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia)
I'd rather fight a mountain lion in Miller's Cave
I said "You'll pay" (said "you'll pay") both you and Davy" (you and Davy)
I'm gonna see you in your graves
They laughed at me (laughed at me) and then I shot 'em (then I shot 'em)
I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave
(Dark old, dark old cave, dark old cave)
That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted)
But I showed 'er 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
