G           C                  G
We went one day, about a month ago,

                 D          G
to have a little fun in Mexico.

         C                G
We ended up in a gambling spot,

                 D                        G G7
where the liquor flowed and the dice were hot.
CHORUS:
G7          C                  G
So, here we are in the Tijuana Jail.

             D                  G
Ain't got no friends, to go our bail.

G7             C                    G        G7
So, here we'll stay, cause we can't pa-a-a-a-ay.

Just send our mail to the Tijuana Jail.

I was shootin' dice, rakin' in the dough,

           D                  G   G7
and then I heard that whistle blow.

G7            C                 G
We started to run when a man in blue,

                   D                      G
said, 'Senor, come with me.. cause I want you.'

#3.
G                 C                          G
Just five hundred dollars and they'll set us free.

                   D                        G G7
I couldn't raise a penny, if you threatened me.

G7          C                        G
I know five hundred don't sound like much,

                D                 G
but just try to find, somebody to touch.
CHORUS:
