A Found Lyric and a Quote

I came across a piece of paper on which I'd written:
Not murder in the first
Not murder in the second or third
That woman brought down her man
as a hunter brings down a bird
 It sounds like a lyric for Frankie and Johnny/Albert.  I suspect it came from a performance on Prairie Home Companion.

A web search didn't get any useable hits in 4 pages. It did turn up a link to Raymond Hamilton, an associate of Bonnie and Clyde in a Google book, "Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde".  The book contained this quote:
Americans have fought one war to win their independence and another to preserve the Union.  Now they face a new war, between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess. " ~ former president Theodore Roosevelt in 1910
Nice quote, but doesn't seem so applicable to today's situation.
