   Still looking for this song

   Back in the '60s I fell in love with a song I knew as "Soldier Boy, Soldier   
   Boy" but NOT the one by the Shirelles.    
      
   I remember some of the lyrics and although I've never studied music I tinkered   
   with a piano app and came up with the following notes, though it's hard to   
   indicate rhythm.    
      
   Sol-dier boy, sol-dier boy, your first let-ter came to-day(...)   
   G    A    B    C   A    B     G    A      BB     A   G  GG♭   
   ____ _____ _____, brave and _____,    
   G♭     G     A      A     G   G♭     
   fight to keep our coun-try free,    
   G♭     G   A    B    A   G   G♭            
      
   Oh, my sol-dier boy   
   D   E   D   C    B
