Patriotic song from worker on border (6)
I believe the answer is:
anthem
'patriotic song' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'worker on border' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'border' becomes 'hem' (I've seen this before**).
'ant'+'hem'='ANTHEM'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for anthem that I've seen before include "Uplifting song -- the man (anag)" , "Song in praise of a nation" , "National or church song" , "The man for a popular song" , "Hymn of loyalty" .)
