MILLER'S CAVE Recorded by Hank Snow Written by Harlan Howard
[C] Way down in the [G] state of [C] Georgia Thru the [G] swamps and ever-[C] glades There's a [F] hole in Tiger [C] Mountain God help the man who gets [G] lost in Miller's [C] 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.
CHANGE TO C# I couldn't stand the way she did me Couldn't take her low down ways Before I'd stay with a cheatin' woman I'll go live the bears in Miller's Cave.
I caught her out (caught her out) one Sunday morning (Sunday morning) With a man they call Big Dave Meanest man (meanest man) in Waycross, Georgia (Waycross, Georgia) I'd rather fight a Mountain Lion in Miller's Cave.
CHANGE TO D I said you'll pay, both you and Davey I must see you in your grave They laughed at me and then I shot 'em I took their cheatin', schemin' bones to Miller's Cave.
That woman made (woman made) me feel unwanted (so unwanted) But I showed 'em 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.
Hey, I've been near Waycross, Georgia. Up at the north end of the Okefenokee Swamp. That area is where I first tasted boiled peanuts. Sure is different from California. -Joe Offer-
