No, but a new work based on a PD song can be protected by copyright. A new translation, setting, arrangement, etc may be copyrightable.

If the underlying work is protected by copyright, you would need permission from the copyright holder to arrange it (the law calls this a "derivative work," and publishers call the permission "print rights"). The resulting agreement would stipulate who gets the rights in the resulting work, and it's almost always the copyright holder of the underlying tune. If the underlying work is in the public domain, such as a folk song, then yes, you would control copyright of the arrangement. However the original song would still be in the public domain.
