Stompin Tom Connors - Marten Hartwell Story Lyrics
LOST!...Up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories|They were lost up in no-mans land The Marten Hartwell Story|The Marten 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 appendicitis|But the wind it blew and the storm it grew and the signal of Contwoyto|They missed by miles and flying wild they crashed beside Lake Hottah||Lost up in no-mans land of the Northwest Territories|They were lost up in no-mans land The Marten 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 Marten 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 Kootook died a saint and a credit to his people|Davey Kootook 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 Marten Hartwell Story||The Marten Hartwell Story.||
