Lyrics:

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 Shootindice, Rakinin 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
