Lyrics Tijuana Jail - The Kingston Trio

Tijuana Jail

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
