Historical Background:
"Doctor Foster" was first printed in 1844 by James Orchard Halliwell. Boyd Smith theorized that "Doctor Foster" is a story about King Edward I (1239 -- 1307) an important figure in the Plantagenet dynasty of the thirteenth century. The presumed story states that on a trip to Gloucester, Edward I fell off his horse into a dirty puddle. After the embarrassing incident, he swore never to visit the region again.

"Doctor Foster" lyrics:
Doctor Foster went to Gloucester,
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle,
Up to the middle,
And never went there again.

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester,
In a shower of rain.
He stepped in a puddle,
Up to the middle,
And never went there again.

Version 2

Doctor Foster went to Gloucester
In a shower of rain;
He stepped in a puddle,
Right up to his middle,
And never went there again.
