Below one is fine. No need to add any more. 
  
Select  UserRole.Name from user

Even you can use below one to see username and role on the same row 
  
Select  UserName , UserRole.Name from user

Thanks @Raj.  Did you mean to put
Select Id ,UserName, UserRole.ID from user?  Neither one works, do I have to specify a specific user? I am looking to return the Name and ID of all the roles we have defined in our org.

When I use the below in the dev console, I receive an error - "No such relation 'UserRole' on entity 'User'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names."

  
Select  UserRole.Name from user

I see what I did wrong, "Use Tooling API" was checked.  What is that used for?
 
Raj VakatiRaj Vakati
 Tooling API to build custom development tools on your own.  Please mark it as solved.
