Kingston Trio The Tijuana Jail Lyrics

The Tijuana Jail Lyrics

We went one day about a month ago

To have a little fun in Mexico

We ended up in a gambling spot

Where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot



So here we are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain't got no friends to go our bail

So here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay

Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail



I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough

And then I heard the whistle blow

We started to run when a man in blue

Said, "Senior, come with me 'cause I want you"



So here we are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain't got no friends to go our bail

So here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay

Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail



Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free

I couldn't raise a penny if ya threatened me

I know five hundred, don't sound like much

But just try to find, somebody to touch



So here we are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain't got no friends to go our bail

So here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay

Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail



So here we are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain't got no friends to go our bail

So here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay

Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail
