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?

@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."
