nursery rhymes

I have been looking for nursery rhymes "Pat a cake" to sing it for my daughter. While I was looking for the rhyme, I realizd that there are so many variations. I wonder which one is the original rhyme???

1.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Roll it, and prick it, and mark it with a "B"
And put it in the oven for Baby and me!
2.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man.
Bake me a cake as fast just as you can.
Roll it and pat it and mark it with B,
And put it in the oven for baby and me!

These two are pretty common that I found.
Does anyone know the original?
