The Uncle Guy story is apocryphal. In his notes to the Tompkins Square 2CD set, Kinney Rorrer indicates that it was from Tin Pan Alley and written years before The Red Fox Chasers recorded it in 1928. Meade et alia give at page 134 of their 'Country Music Sources': 'Honeysuckle Time: Stanley Murphy, wds, Henry J. Marshall, m, 1916; Ref (1) Delaney #75 [Delaney's Song Book, #1-88 NYC, Wm W.Delaney 1892-1921]'.

I had a search of Levy and a couple of other sheet music sites, but couldn't find it.
