The Kingston Trio The Tijuana Jail Lyrics

Denny Thompson

We went one day
About a month ago (ha ha ha)
To have a little fun (ah ha)
In Mexico
We ended up
In a gambling spot (ha ha ha)
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 shooting dice
Raking in the dough (long green)
And then I heard
A whistle blow
We started to run
When a man in blue
Said, Senor, 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 (el guaracho caliente)
I couldn't raise a penny
If they threatened me
I know five hundred
Don't sound like much (cheap)
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
