I went one day a-bout a month a-go 
-1  2   2 -1  -1  -3* -4 -4 -3 3
to have a lit-tle fun in Mex-i-co.
3 -4  3  2  -3 3 -3   3     3
I end-ed up in a gam-blin’ spot 
 -1   -1   2  -1   -3*
where the liq-uor flowed 
-4  -4   -4   -3   3
and the dice were hot.
3    -4  3 2  3   3  -3  3  3   3
So, here I am in the Ti-jua-na jail. 
 -1   -1  -1  -3* -3 -4 -4 -3  3
Ain't got no friends to go my bail.
3    -3   3   -3 3    3  -3   3   3-1
So, here I'll stay 'cause I can't pay. 
 -1   -1  -1 -3*-3-4 -4  -4 -3  -3  3
Just send my mail to the Ti-jua-na jail.

I was shooting dice, raking in the dough 
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. 
I couldn't raise a penny if they threatened me.
I know five hundred 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 friends to go our bail.
So, here we'll stay 'cause we can't pay. 
Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail.
