"And My Baby's Gone"

On Friday afternoon I was thinking about "And My Baby's Gone" (because it features electric guitar controlled by a volume pedal and I've been thinking about getting one), and I realized something about the first verse:

Without a love
Anymore
I'm like a rich man
Gone poor

"Gone poor" is sung to a phrase something like:

(I guessed on the key based on the song's resolution.)

"Gone" is sung to that first Ab, and "poor" is sung to the rest of the notes, which generally descend a fifth from Ab to Db.  This descent in pitch musically mirrors the descent in status that the lyrics describe ("a rich man / Gone poor").
