I think the reason it has been so popular in the US is that Burl Ives recorded it. Much of what he did became a kind of reference for many of the groups of the '60's "folk scare". A lot of people thought that Ives had recorded every "white" folk song, and Josh White every "black" folk song. It was common for kids to be brought up on Burl Ives.
