Huckleberry is American slang for one who is just what you need at that moment you need them. In "Tombstone" Val Kilmer tells the guy who wants to fight, "I'm your huckleberry!" A huckleberry "friend" is a friend of the same nature. In Breakfast at Tiffanys the song is played once while they are stealing things from a five and dime. Mark Twain named Tom Sawyers pal Huckleberry Finn because Huck was in it with Tom no matter what mischief they cooked up. Not just an old dear friend, but could be.
