Millers Cave

MILLER'S CAVE

Recorded by Hank Snow

Written by Harlan Howard

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.

STRUM: [G]Dark cold, [D]cave, [A]Miller's [D]Cave.
