The Tijuana JailArtists: The Kingston Trio (peak Billboard position # 12 in 1959)Words and Music by Danny Thompson(hoot of exultation)We went one day about a month ago (a-ha-ha)To have a little fu-un (a-ha) MexicoWe ended up in a gambling spot (oh yeah) a-ha-haWhere the liquor flow-owed and the dice were hotSo here we a-are in the Tijuana JailAin't got no frie-ends to go our bailSo here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't pa-a-a-a-ayJust send our ma-ail to the Tijuana JailI was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough (long green)And then I hea-ard the whistle blowWe started to run when a man in blueSaid "señor, come with me ‘cause I want you."So here we a-are in the Tijuana JailAin't got no frie-ends to go our bailSo here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't payJust send our mail to the Tijuana Jail (shout)Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free (shouted excitement)I couldn't raise a penny if ya threatened meI know five "hunderd" don't sound like muchBut just try to find somebody to touchSo here we are in the Tijuana JailAin't got no frie-ends to go our bailSo here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't payJust send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail So here we a-are in the Tijuana Ja-a-a-a-ilAin't got no frie-eh-ends to go our bailSo here we'll sta-ay ‘cause we can't pa-ayJust send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail Transcribed by Ronald E.
