I love the Highwaymen, too, along with PP & M.

I loved the Kingston Trio. They came to Boston College for my senior year and I was so thrilled to see them live. All of your songs bring back those memories...but the words to The Merry Minuet...seem scarier today...

And we know for certain that some lovely day someone will set the spark off and we will all be blown away.

My husband sang in a glee club and we would all stand around a piano with beer in hand singing songs. One of them was Cocaine Bill and Morphine Sue... A catchy little song that we all loved in 1963. We didn't know anyone who actually used cocaine or morphine! A few years later, that song wasn't funny anymore!

THE TIJUANA JAIL
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.

Chorus:
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."

(Chorus)

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 (cheap), but just try to find somebody to touch.

(Chorus, twice)

THEY CALL THE WIND MARIA
Alan J. Lerner/Frederick Loewe

Away out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire. The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe. They call the wind Maria.
Maria blows the stars around and sets the clouds a-flyin'. Maria makes the mountains sound like folks was out there dyin'.
Maria. (Maria). Maria. (Maria). They call the wind Maria.

Before I knew Maria's name and heard her wail and whinin', I had a gal. She had me and the sun was always shinin'.
But then one day I left my gal. I left her far behind me and now I'm lost, so gol' darn lost not even God can find me.
Maria. (Maria.) Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria.

Out here they have a name for rain and wind and fire only. When you're lost and all alone, there ain't no name for lonely.
And I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me. Maria blow my love to me. I need my gal beside me.
Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria. Maria! Maria. (Maria.) They call the wind Maria.
