MRS. SPENS MONROE. AKA and see "King (The)," "Best in the Bag (The)," "Happy Mistake (The)," "Jim O'Connor's," "John Blessing's Delight," "King's Jig (2)," "King of Jigs," "Lady Shire’s Favorite," "Miss Monroe’s Jig," "Mrs. Monroe’s (1)," "Munster Jig (1) (The)," "Reel de Paddy," "Reel Lasalle." Scottish, (Irish?); Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was first printed in Glasgow publisher biography:James Aird's Selection of Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign Airs, vol. 4 (1796) as "Mrs. Spens Monroe," however, it has had a long history in Ireland and may have an Irish provenance. See also Montreal fiddler Joseph Allard's (1973-1947) recordings of the jig under the titles "Reel de Paddy" and "Reel Lasalle."
Spens Monroe is a Scottish family name. The fifth President of the United States, James Monroe (1758-1831) is said to have been descended from one line of Spens Monroes; and his father was Spens Monroe, and James was the great-grandson of Andrew and Elizabeth Spens Monroe.
