"Dr. Livingstone, I Presume" is a 1968 song the the English rock band The Moody Blues. It was written by the band's flautist Ray Thomas, although he does not play the flute in this particular song. First released in June of 1968 on the B-side of "Voices in the Sky," "Dr. Livingstone, I Presume" is one of Ray Thomas's signature child-themed songs, much like his first composition "Another Morning." "Dr. Livingstone, I Presume" was later released on the Moody Blues' 1968 album In Search of the Lost Chord. It appeared as the third track, after "Ride My See-Saw."
