The Tijuana Jail
The Kingston Trio

[INTRO]:  G+G  C majorC  D7D7  G+G

      C majorC          G+G
We went one day, about a month ago
         D7D7     G+G
To have a little fun in Mexico
     C majorC         G+G
We ended up, in a gambling spot
         D7D7   D7?
Where the liquor flowed   and the dice were hot

      C majorC          G+G
So, here we are, in the Tijuana Jail
       D7D7         G+G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail
        C majorC           G+G
So, here we'll stay, ?cause we can't pay
       D7D7  D7?        G+G
Just send our mail   to the Tijuana Jail

        C majorC          G+G
I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough
      D7D7        G+G
And then I heard, a whistle blow
       C majorC         G+G
We started to run, when a man in blue
          D7D7   D7?
Said, ?Señor, come with me,  ?cause I want you?

      C majorC          G+G
So, here we are, in the Tijuana Jail
       D7D7         G+G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail
        C majorC           G+G
So, here we'll stay, ?cause we can't pay
       D7D7  D7?        G+G
Just send our mail   to the Tijuana Jail

         C majorC              G+G
Just five hundred dollars, and they'll set us free
          D7D7            G+G
I couldn't raise a penny, if you threatened me
      C majorC             G+G
I know five hundred, don't sound like much
        D MajorD   D7?
But just try to find,  somebody to touch

      C majorC          G+G
So, here we are, in the Tijuana Jail
       D7D7         G+G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail
        C majorC           G+G
So, here we'll stay, ?cause we can't pay
       D7D7  D7?        G+G
Just send our mail   to the Tijuana Jail

      C majorC          G+G
So, here we are, in the Tijuana Jail
       D7D7         G+G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail
        C majorC           G+G
So, here we'll stay, ?cause we can't pay
       D7D7  D7?        G+G
Just send our mail   to the Tijuana Jail
