I FIXD MY FANCY ON HER. AKA - "I've fixd my fancy on thee." Scottish, Air (whole or cut time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One Part (Stuart): AA'BB'CC' (David Young). The melody was printed in Alexander Stuart's Musick for Allan Ramsay’s Collection of Scots Songs, part 3 (Edinburgh, c. 1724), a collection of airs to songs in poet Allan Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (Edinburgh, 1724) which had initially been published without music.
