Song writing is difficult. You have to come up with the tune and then you must provide words. Tunes are tough enough, but words , extravagantly difficult. That's why I decided to provide this post here on the MyLot place. Lurking around on MyLot there will be an aspiring new song writer who is deserving of some good and professional song writing suggestions. So, without too much further ado, we will begin with a session devoted to wording. That's the really hard part, anyway. We'll begin here: * * * * * * * * * * A New "Old Folk Song" Wording Template Old old old old old old old Sing now sing now sing now sing Scratchie scratchie scratch Scratch scratchie scratchie Scratchie scratchie scratch Cluck just like an egg will hatch Oldie oldie oldie old Keep on writing 'til its told Get your money when its sold Writing songs can sure get old. * * * * * * * * * * Great words, right? Not at all easy, but think what you can do with a bit of practice. That should be good for one of those golden platter things. You are welcome to use it. Keep all the credit for yourself, OK? * * * * * * * * * * Image source: (As if you did not know... ) Pixabay dot com

I got a chuckle from your song lyrics. When I read the title of your post my first thought was if you wrote an old folk song, wouldn't it really be a new folk song.

@DWDavis - Brother DW - You now should look down to see which of your legs was the one on which I pulled... Fact is, I would not any more know how to write a song, new or old, than I would know how to stand on my nose and clap my heels together in synch with "America the Beautiful."

@Ceerios I believe it was the right leg. It was sore all night and when I got up this morning, such a pulling you gave it.
