Peter, Paul And Mary - The Times They Are A-Changin' Lyrics






Come gather 'round people where ever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
For the times they are a' changin'!

Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a' changin'!

Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a' changin'!

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a' changin'!

The line it is drawn the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a' changin'!

Peter, Paul And Mary The Times They Are A-Changin' Comments
  1. P.... M....

    Beautiful
    thank you
    Blessings
    Musta na
    0010110 Paul

  2. h.... f....

    Wizards ,pretty slick

  3. M.... T....

    We need this song today as we had needed it in the 60’s Peter Paul and Mary’s take on Dylan’s great song is simply gorgeous

  4. A.... E....

    The messengers may no longer man the barricades, but the message is as relevant today, as it was in the 1960s. PEACE is the only way for man to prove his superiority in th is world.

  5. R.... M....

    Stop clapping...

  6. S.... H....

    Wonderful singers, with very little effort. Singers nowadays need to yell to get their message over, but PPM just nailed it with rhythm guitars and soft voices and acoustics ... a 10/10.

  7. T.... P....

    Mary Travers always seems to be like 5x more intense than the other dudes.

    T.... P....

    The Psychic Alliance a bit too animated.

  8. D.... C....

    Love all of their Dylan covers... they give his words a true power

  9. S.... H....

    This wonderful song plus others was recorded around 1965...in good ol’ black n white.

  10. P.... P....

    ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
    ⚘ in Onore a Mary Allin Travers ⚘
    ⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘

  11. P.... P....

    Peter Paul & Mary sono gia' :
    " La Storia " per i " Diritti Umani "

  12. S.... ....

    A lot of these white nationalist conservatives need a load of this song.

  13. D.... W....

    I love this clip from back in 1963 ! 🙄😏

  14. m.... s....

    Sounds bad live worse as a duet.

    m.... s....

    mike smith you’re joking right ? 🤮

    m.... s....

    No you death?

    m.... s....

    what none could which better than of

  15. G.... B....

    They are dressed like bankers. The audience is dressed like bankers. I thought this was the "Swingin' 60's" ??

    G.... B....

    You think tattoos, shaved heads, pink and green hair, piercings and stupid clothes are truth...or power...o r a statement of anything but odd fashion ? That is why...the new "movements" cannot even answer simple questions about what they are doing or the basis of their "beliefs". The message came first...the crazy fashion later. Fashion...heh heh..we just took off our clothes....think you are so special and progressive !!

    G.... B....

    people used to dress up to go somewhere​ special. we had dress down times too. Bankers dressed a lot more stiff and proper. respect

    G.... B....

    Right on brother, wish there was even a tenth of the awareness and resistance to injustice as there was then. The silent war waged with quiet weapons got society really sick these days. Naked sure does make a better statement, too bad the man cracked down hard with the laws. Wish more people would dose out, calm the fuck down, plant some seeds, and love one another. ☮️❤️

    G.... B....

    They were dressed for this special occasion. Very cool and youthful. Many guys wore suits to perform... Beatles, Stones... Mary is wearing a pretty lovely flowing dress... This is 1963....give it 2-3 years and the fashion and hair really opened up. This is pre-Beatles. Your comment is ignorant and inane. This song is the announcement of Youth power insurgent. Try listening to the words. Making it so pretty was really subversive. This song is a call and a demand for change and justice - - and it led a movement. It opened up the world you live in today. This music remade the world.

  16. A.... N....

    Times are changing.Even truer now.

    A.... N....

    But not for the better sadly

  17. R.... S....

    Was für eine verklemmte Körpersprache - bei den Vortragenden und dem Auditorium - und das bei einem solchen Lied!

  18. E.... B....

    Take heed...

  19. D.... A....

    No Auto-tuning or over dubbing pure ensemble live performance by the masters of Harmony PP&M One of a kind band
    their place is musical history is secured in the timeless column.

  20. T.... ....

    Theirs is my favorite version of this song, and I first heard it in the early mid-'60's.

  21. N.... M....

    Hey trump listen, we are coming.

    N.... M....

    This song sums up rise of the people. Down with the establishment for the people always the people. God bless president trump

    N.... M....

    @Roger Salyer Hell is coming for you Roger, you immoral loser.

    N.... M....

    @Roger Salyer - The fascist was defeated in 2016.

    N.... M....

    @All or Nothing Where were you during the 60's ? And now to see all the phony ignorants "protesting" screeching instead of thinking about what is really happening. I am disgusted . The politicians way before Trump have used race baiting and fears...he knew that and said..what are you doing ? But you punks just cannot listen.

    N.... M....

    @All or Nothing very good ,agree with you 100% . Trump is a pig,a liar , he makes Nixon look like a saint. The protesters will be taking it to the streets soon ...I can't wait!!

  22. d.... ....

    Need this song today to speak truth to power!

    d.... ....

    Exactly!
    This and I Ain't Marching Anymore!

  23. G.... F....

    Beautiful, profound message song, true at the time it was first recorded and remains true today. A loving, caring message for those that are willing to listen. God Bless Mary in heaven now...

  24. S.... S....

    Peter and Paul, are just.. backdrops for Mary.

    S.... S....

    Hear, hear Steve....so true

    S.... S....

    Not even a little bit true---they were a trio who equally contributed to the group. Mary certainly added quite a bit, wouldn't have had the success on their own. P & P wrote songs which is where most of their enduring legacy comes from. On a side note Mary herself once commented about her hair length, how it was thought to be so beatnik and outrageous, at least for the times. I always found that a bit funny as it was true---most "grown ups" watching PP&M thought they were dangerous rebels due their appearances. :)

    S.... S....

    LOL - Obviously, you never heard of The Wedding Song.

  25. s.... ....

    "Classic Performance" indeed; so heartstoppingly beautiful, and more relevant now than ever.
    Thanks for giving it to us in a reasonably hifi bitrate.
    Beauty of this calibre deserves the best possible treatment. Cheers

  26. f.... ....

    From 51 years ago.  Mary's dead, Peter and Paul are old.  And Dylan was wrong:  the sons and the daughters became their parents.

    f.... ....

    Not all of us.
    Many did, of course -- "Many are called, but few are chosen." It is always thus.
    (I read that in a Book.)
    But some of us didn't -- and that's all it takes.

    f.... ....

    But their music lives on. By the way bassist Dick Kniss died a couple of years ago.

    f.... ....

    Not anymore. The kids have woken up and aren't going to take it anymore.

  27. D.... A....

    real performing artists who could sing anywhere and sounded best live True Virtuosity

  28. R.... D....

    I hit the like on this im just disappointed there wasn't a button for love

  29. b.... ....

    Beautiful - I love this song, and especially this peformance of it, so much.

  30. e.... m....

    Beautiful performance! 👏 👏
    I love your downloads, thank you for sharing!

    e.... m....

    Glad you enjoyed

  31. S.... M....
