As the song BILLY BARLOW seems to have been introduced to American audiences by English comic actor John Reeve (circa 1836). I doubt an American origin for the song (though given the songs structure topical and nonsense verses could be added at will for the benfit of an American audience). Reeve's tour was a failure - but his BILLY BARLOW caught on.
