From the sheet music at UCLA:


MY LAST DOLLAR
Words by Charles Bayha, music by Chris Smith. ©1921.
"Introduced by Bert Williams"

1. When all my good luck turns to bad,
And I am weary, blue and sad,
The best friend that I ever had
    Is my last dollar.
When all in, down and out I feel,
And to my pals I then appeal,
Who is it stakes me to a meal?
(Hm?) My last dollar.

CHORUS 1: I'm no low-down beggar; I'm the honestes' man in town.
Those that ain't got, can't get nothin'; that's a saying true I have found.
The best I get is sympathy; it ain't no use to holler,
'Cause when I'm broke, no one helps me out but my last dollar.

2. I once was stung by old Bill Wart.
I sure did sue that gamblin' sport!
I'd take my father into court
    For my last dollar.
Though I'm no cheapskate, so 'tis said,
A free big-hearted man instead,
A hold-up guy must shoot me dead
    For my last dollar.

CHORUS 2: I'm no big bad bully; I'm the peacefulles' man in town.
Any time that I've been cheated, I am penitentiary bound.
To lose my money fair and square would never make me holler,
But I won't stand to be buncoed out of my last dollar.


You can hear Bert Williams sing this song at the Internet Archive. He embellishes the lyrics with lots of patter.
