yeah theres a little history behind this one. first of all neil had been bedridden for awhile around the time this was written and had needed a maid. second of all, that part about fell in love with the actress is a reference to carrie snodgrass neils first wife and mother of his son zeke (see the song "new mama"). he saw her playing a maid in a movie and arranged to meet her. it is a great song isn't it?
