A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall
ORIGINAL SONG WRITTEN AND COMPOSED BY BOB DYLAN
A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall; A hard rain's a gonna fall
"A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" is a song written by American musician and Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan in the summer of 1962 and recorded later that year for his second album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963). Its lyrical structure is modeled after the question and answer form of traditional ballads such as "Lord Randall".
