The answer chosen by the asker is wrong, or at least misleading. This syntax is found in Scottish and English folk songs. It does mean something, it indicates the tense of the verb.

M$Say out loud "The ltimes, they are changing." Then say "The times, they are a-changin'." The only difference the "a" provides is a rhythmic one. It's literal value is null and void. The soft syllable emphasizes the more accented syllables before and after it providing a rocking up and down rhythm in the statement.
It really comes down to it's aesthetics. It's purpose is to make it sound better, but it means nothing.
Personal music study.

I thought that mightve been it. Kinda like when I wondered what the word "innit" meant but then realized its just a way of speaking for some UK folks.
