The music was composed by John.%22Border Song%22 initially appeared on the 1970 album Elton John, and was released in the spring of 1970 as the LP's first single. A flop in the UK, it was released in North America a few months later. It met with more success there, especially in Canada, where it peaked at No. 34. The appearance of %22Border Song%22 on the Canadian charts was Elton John's first chart appearance in any country.
