"Late Last Night When Willie Came Home" was recorded (and probably composed) by Uncle Dave Macon on Vocalion 15319 in 1926. It was also recorded by Sam and Kirk Magee, Doc Watson and The New Lost City Ramblers. When The New Dimension String Band played this, we tried to sound more like Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers even though they never recorded it. The song is full of borrowed verses from various song families. It's possible that Uncle Dave strung them together or this could have been floating around before he did the recording.
