Guy Bailey led Hood's Texas Brigade Band during the Civil War. His wife, Mollie, smuggled notes and quinine past the enemy in her hair. After the war, the Baileys' shows still flew the Confederate flag. In 1869 and afterward, Gus and Mollie Bailey and their nine children headquartered their circus in Blum and owned show lots in 100 towns of Texas. Ex-Confederates saw their circus free. Bailey wrote "Old Gray Mare Ain't What She Used to Be" on the eve of the second Manassas Battle, when a mare spooked the camp by running through with a load of tin pans. Texas Confederate songs included "Lone Star Defenders," "Land of Texas," "Bombardment and Battle of Galveston," "Dick Dowling and the Davis Guards at Sabine Pass," "The Ranger's Farewell," "Baylor's Partisan Rangers," "Awake! to Arms in Dixie!," "Capture of 17 of Co. H, 4th Texas Cavalry," "My Texas Land," "To the Beloved Memory of Maj. Gen. Tom Green," "Lone Star Banner of the Free," "The Gallant Second Texians," "The Rum Raid at Velasco," "The Texas Rangers at the Battle of Chickamauga," "Terry's Texas Rangers," "Hood's Texas Brigade," "The Navasota Volunteers," "Song of the Fifth Texas Regiment," "The Dying Texas Soldier Boy," "Texians, to your Banner Fly," "The Horse Marines at Galveston," "O, He's Nothing But a Soldier," "The Martyrs of Texas," "The Texas Sentinel in Virginia," and "An Old Texian's Appeal." Texas troops also marched to such southern favorites as "Dixie," "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "The Bonny Blue Flag," and "Mother Is the Battle Over?"
