Tijuana Jail - The Kingston Trio

So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain’t got no frie-ends to go our bail

So here we’ll sta-ay?

cause we can’t 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 «señor, come with me?

cause I want you.»

So here we a-are in the Tijuana Jail

Ain’t got no frie-ends to go our bail

So here we’ll sta-ay?

cause we can’t pay

Just 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 me

I know five «hunderd» 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 frie-ends to go our bail

So here we’ll sta-ay?

cause we can’t pay

Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail

So here we a-are in the Tijuana Ja-a-a-a-il

Ain’t got no frie-eh-ends to go our bail

So here we’ll sta-ay?

cause we can’t pa-ay

Just send our mai-il to the Tijuana Jail
