Floor lamp wiring

I purchased a floor lamp with three sockets for 60 watt bulbs.
It was wired wrong, only one light turned on, the bulbs were fine.

The lamp's switch has three wires: black, red and blue. How should these wires be connected?

Depends,
Seems like wierd colors for what I assume is a 3 light level switch. How many terminals are on the switch? Bring it back and get a new one wired by the manufacturer.

The switch has a single knob that spins, the square plastic base has three wires. The lamp has three light bulb sockets.

After connecting all the socket neutral wires
to the linecord neutral, connect the black to the line,
red to one of the sockets, blue to two of the sockets.
If that doesn't work the way you want, try switching some of the wires.
