An old Scottish song?

An old Scottish song?

Surnames: Carlton
Can anyone help me discover the name and/or origins of this song my G-Grandfather, Freeman D Carlton use to sing to my Grandfather and father. He always said it was a scottish song and went like this....
"Hey old man, you better keep her close, or I'll talk to her once and awhile. You may hoot and play upon your flute, but your bonnie little girl be mine"
Thats all of the lyrics my family remembers, if anyone can give me a clue as to what the song actually was, I would be so grateful. This much was passed on by my uncle Hollis Carlton to his sister, Mary, in a letter. I would like to be able to pass the information on to my children.
Thank you!
