|f_annotation='''GIGUE DES AMOUREUX''' (Lover's Jig). &nbsp; French-Canadian, Reel (2/4 or cut time). A Major: G Major (Demers, Duval). Standard tuning (fiddle). Isidore Soucy researcher Jean Duval finds that "Gigue des amoureux", recorded by fiddler Soucy and accordion player Donat Lefleur in 1929, is a version of an old English country dance tune called "[[Simple George]]." The latter was printed in London by the music publishing firm of the Thompson family in 1757. &nbsp; How it survived in tradition to surface in Montreal in the 1920's is a mystery. &nbsp;
