Hi, Knockroe - but is the song based on the tune I linked to? When we research a song, it's best if we put all the little pieces together to make the whole, a cooperative research effort instead of a question-and-answer thing.
Where did you hear the song? Might you have seen it in a movie? The text doesn't feel traditional to me. It doesn't feel "crusty" enough for real soldiers to sing. But then, I only got bugle calls for my 8 weeks of basic training. Could it have been songthing composed recently by a singer-songwriter?
