"Roll Away Your Stone" first showed up on Lend Me Your Eyes, Mumford & Sons' 2008 EP; the London quartet later carried it onto their debut album Sigh No More, and in June 2010 it became their fourth single. Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall and Ted Dwane share the writing credit, and the song opens on an instrumental run through the Irish jig "Merrily Kissed the Quaker" before the tune proper takes hold.

The words borrow a line from Macbeth, one the title character speaks in Act 1 as he keeps his hunger for the throne hidden. In the US it arrived in June 2011 as the third and last single from Sigh No More, and in 2012 it turned up in the documentary Kony 2012.
