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. "I fixd my fancy on her" is the indicated tune for Ramsay's "Song" (pp. 339[1]), beginning: "Bright Cynthia's Power divinely great, What heart is not obeying?", indicating the tune was well-known prior to the publication of his 1724 volume.
