“Big Red Combine Harvester” is a popular children’s nursery rhyme and song that originated in the United Kingdom. It is often sung by young children and is associated with farm life and agricultural machinery.
The lyrics of the song describe a big, red combine harvester that is used to harvest crops such as wheat, barley, and oats. The combine is driven through the fields, cutting and threshing the crops, and then collecting them in the combine’s hopper.
