I'll be Your Huckleberry...what does it mean?

What it means is easy enough. To be one’s huckleberry — usually as the phrase I’m your huckleberry — is to be just the right person for a given job, or a willing executor of some commission. It seems that the word evolved over many years, and by the 1900's ,came to be given as a mark of affection or comradeship to one’s partner or sidekick. Bob is my sidekick.."My Huckleberry".

Toby Keith - Huckleberry

Just off of the two-lane where the school bus used to stop

Was a little wooden A-frame with a yellow tin roof top

One day it was raining on this world

She said ‘have you ever really, really ever kissed a girl?' Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me

If the storm gets wild and scary count on me to be right there

You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries

We'll grow up and we'll get married

I'm gonna be your Huckleberry

Later on that summer we went to the county fair

They had a brand new roller coaster and everyone was scared

It was two bucks to experience the thrill

She said ‘come on boy let's get in line I'll ride it if you will' Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me

If the ride gets wild and scary count on me to be right there

You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries

We'll grow up and we'll get married

I'm gonna be your Huckleberry

Snuck off on a slow dance at the junior/senior prom

Went lookin' for some romance before I had to get her home

Steamin' up the windows of my car

She said ‘until I get my wedding ring boy we can't go that far' Baby I'll be your Huckleberry, you don't have to double dare me

If the world gets wild and scary count on me to be right there

You're so extra ordinary sweet like maraschino cherries

We grew up and we got married

Now look at those three little Huckleberries
