The Kingston Trio Miscellaneous The Tijuana Jail The Tijuana Jail Artists: 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) Mexico We ended up in a gambling spot (oh yeah) a-ha-ha Where the liquor flow-owed and the dice were hot So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail Aint got no frie-ends to go our bail So here well sta-ay cause we cant pa-a-a-a-ay Just send our ma-ail to the Tijuana Jail I was shootin?dice, rakin?in the dough (long green) And then I hea-ard the whistle blow We started to run when a man in blue Said "seor, come with me cause I want you." So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail Aint got no frie-ends to go our bail So here well sta-ay cause we cant pay Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail (shout) Just five hundred dollars and theyll set us free (shouted excitement) I couldnt raise a penny if ya threatened me I know five "hunderd" dont sound like much But just try to find somebody to touch So here we are in the Tijuana Jail Aint got no frie-ends to go our bail So here well sta-ay cause we cant pay Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail So here we a-are in the Tijuana Ja-a-a-a-il Aint got no frie-eh-ends to go our bail So here well sta-ay cause we cant pa-ay Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail Transcribed by Ronald E.
