Don't know if they're the songs you're looking for, but you'll find three very interesting songs if you put
[bonnie wee lass]
in square brackets in the search box in the upper-right corner of this page.

Is it something similar to this?

Once I knew a pretty girl, I loved her with my life
I'd gladly give my heart and hand to make her my wife
Oooh, to make her my wife

She took me by the hand; she led me to the door
I took her in my arms and I asked her once more
Oooh, I asked her once more

But she looked me in the eye with scorn and disdain
And the answer that she gave me was don't come again
Oooh, was don't come again

So I stayed away for just six weeks, which caused her much pain
She wrote me a letter and she asked me again
Oooh, she asked me again

But I wrote her an answer just for to let her know
That young men should not venture where they once could not go
Oooh, where they once could not go

So come all you young men, a warning take by me
And don't place your affections on a green growing tree
Oooh, on a green growing tree

For the leaves they will wither and the roots they will decay
And the beauty of a young maid will soon fade away
Oooh, will soon fade away

I once knew a pretty maid, a charming beauty bright
And to make her my wife was my own heart's delight
Oooh, was my own heart's delight
