The Tijuana Jail:The Kingston Trio.
#12 in 1959.
INTRO:
#1.
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.
CHORUS:
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 pa-a-a-a-ay.
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
#2.
I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough,
and then I heard that whistle blow.
We started to run when a man in blue,
said, 'Senor, come with me.. cause I want you.'
CHORUS:
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 pa-a-a-a-ay.
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
#3.
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free.
I couldn't raise a penny, if you threatened me.
I know five hundred don't sound like much,
but just try to find, somebody to touch.
CHORUS:
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 pa-a-a-a-ay.
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
OUTRO:
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 pa-a-a-a-ay.
Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.
