| Josh Ritter – Roll On Lyrics

The second 2 verses sound like a love song. The first 2 verses remind me of the old Woody Guthrie song "Roll on Columbia," hence the title "Roll On." The Columbia River flows into the Pacific Ocean, which is what the line "and the river falls on another sea" comes from. |

| Josh Ritter – Kathleen Lyrics

What a great song. Josh Ritter has a way of telling a story with his songs like almost no other songwriters can. I think this song is not only telling a story about this girl named Kathleen that he wants to take home, but I think he is also alluding back to the old Irish folk tune "I'll take you home again Kathleen" (also redone by Elvis). Nearly all of his songs refer back to some historic event or public figure. |
