In the book I have on the origins of famous sayings, it states the loose lips sink ships back to Colonial American days, and was a common saying of the Brits. But not sure why. Tobacco? The fact that Americans were a mouthy protesting lot who had this concept of free speech? Spies, as you indicated? Even back then, there were spies. And plenty of them. I am sure there are a lot of claims as to where things originate. Mayhap we should go back in time to find out for sure just when and how.
All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand

Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
