The Martin Hartwell Story
Stompin' Tom Connors

Lost!... Up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories

They were lost up in no-mans land The Martin Hartwell Story

The Martin Hartwell Story


On November the 8th of '72 north of the Arctic circle

A plane took off from Cambridge Bay and the pilots name was Hartwell

He had to make it to Yellowknife even though the night was stormin'

To save the lives of an Eskimo boy and a pregnant Eskimo woman

Oh Mr. Hartwell said the nurse I pray that you will guide us

To save this woman with her child and the boy with appendisitis

But the wind it blew and the storm it grew and the signal of controita

They missed by miles and flying wild they crashed beside lake Hota


Lost up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories

They were lost up in no-mans land The Martin Hartwell Story

The Martin Hartwell Story


Now Judy Hill the federal nurse she never lived to waken

And the life of the mother and her child were soon after taken

But the pilot woke to find himself and the Eskimo boy were livin'

Left in pain beside the plane they searched the skies of heaven

Day by Day the pilot layed with both his ankels broken

And it took the lad everything he had to keep the fire stokin'

While in the sky to far away the rescue team were seekin'

A signal wave that might be traced to Hartwell's radio beacon


Lost up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories

They were lost up in no-mans land The Martin Hartwell Story

The Martin Hartwell Story


After nineteen days the aireal search was said to be completed

Until someone cried they're still alive and the search must be repeated

And the day the beep was finally heard is a day we'll all remember

A man was found safe and sound on the 9th day of December

Hartwell said he should have died at 35 below zero

And the reason the Hartwell did survive

The Boy had died a hero

He brought me food when I couldn't move while he himself grew feeble


Yes Davey Kutook died a saint and a credit to his people

Davey Kutook died a saint and a credit to his people


Lost up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories

They were lost up in no-mans land The Martin Hartwell Story

The Martin Hartwell Story


The Martin Hartwell Story.
